Abstract

From the very beginning, Chinese piano music has carried the ideological and cultural tradition of China for two thousand years. Chinese musical thinking is influenced by Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism emphasizes the harmony between music and social order, while Taoism pursues the unity of man and nature in music. The practical reason and music sense culture in Chinese thinking never deny the unity of mind and body, spirit and sense. Chinese piano music should conform to the "Tao", that is, the creation and existence in a way that conforms to nature and laws, which reflects the cosmology embodied behind the Chinese music view. In terms of performance, it is also necessary to adjust the corresponding mode, so that the piano can speak the most pure Chinese music language, reflect the Chinese cosmology, meet the needs of music sense culture, and achieve a truly spiritual equality between Chinese and Western music culture exchanges.

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.
