Abstract
The successful combination of words and dynamic beauty in poetry and often brings vitality to people with unique aesthetic pleasure. Classical poetry is a cultural asset in antique Chinese literature, and it also has a comparatively extensive cultural value in the circumstances of the present era, and is a dazzling pearl of Chinese culture. It is not only a perfect combination of traditional culture and elegant art, but also the symbiotic link between a person and soul. This paper explores the combination of classical Chinese poetry with Extended Reality (XR) technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), to create charming experiences. It caves into the cultural essence and ageless themes of classical Chinese poems, showcasing how XR environments can heighten the perception and recognition of these literary masterpieces. By bridging the gap between ancient arts and modern technologies, this fusion offers a unique way to engage with poetry and immerse oneself in its beauty.

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.
