Abstract

Wutai Mountain has formed a distinctive Buddhist architectural complex with its unique Alpine weather, springs and waterfalls, grotesque caves and rocks, geomorphic landscape and far-reaching Buddhist culture, and its architectural complex art has also been endowed with unique religious and cultural characteristics, becoming the current world center of Buddhist Manjusri belief. This paper mainly expounds the emergence of Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple complex and Buddhist culture in China, discusses the characteristics and styles of Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple complex in different historical periods, reveals the relevance between Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple complex and World Buddhist culture from the perspective of historical evolution, and discusses the contemporary value of Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple complex, including becoming an example of the combination of natural landform and Buddhist culture It has realized the artistic expression of the innovation and inheritance of Buddhist culture, promoted the spread of Buddhist culture under the guidance of the world's Buddhist Manjusri belief center, and better realized the exchange and integration of World Buddhist culture.

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.
