Abstract
British and American novelists use their novels as carriers to state existentialism philosophy, which not only considers people's living state, but also guides people to choose independently and create value. This paper first introduces the background of existentialism, then analyzes the development and performance of existentialism in British and American novels, and finally explores the significance of existentialism in British and American novels for the creation of existentialism literary works and the criticism of reality. It aims to provide reference for literary creators, truly improve the quality of domestic and foreign novels, and promote the prosperity and development of literature.

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.
