Abstract

Since the reform and opening up, China's foreign economic and cultural exchanges have been expanding, which has put forward new requirements for the intercultural communication skills of nationals. Entering the 21st century, the trend of global integration has become more obvious, especially with the progress of transportation and the massive application of online social media software, which provides communication tools for people of different cultures, intercultural communication has become an important feature of the new era. Therefore, facing the needs of national strategic development in the new era, cultivating high-quality college students with international thinking, global vision and intercultural communication skills has become an urgent task for teaching Korean language majors in colleges and universities. Based on the theory of cultivation and teaching of intercultural communicative competence, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on 20 teachers and 169 students majoring in Korean at Xi'an International Studies University (XISU) to analyze the status quo of teaching and cultivation of intercultural communicative competence of Korean majors in colleges and universities, and to put forward the strategy of cultivating students' intercultural communicative competence.

Keywords : Colleges and Universities, Korean Language, Intercultural Communicative Competence.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
