Abstract
The Tang Dynasty witnessed the first studies of the relationship between Buddhism and Bai Juyi. With the advent of modern scholarship, however, interest in the subject became more intense. For the most renowned academic commentators, there are four principal aspects to the relationship between the two traditions. These are: Bai Juyi Buddhist karma, the unity of Buddhist characteristics, Bai Juyi and the sects of Buddhism, and finally, Buddhism and the creation of Bai Juyi literature. Each of these components has proven fruitful in terms of research outcomes

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.
