Abstract
In the vast field of translation, challenges extend beyond language to encompass cultural differences. Cultural variations between source and target languages, understanding the target audience and their cultural backgrounds, as well as employing strategies such as equivalence substitution and cultural adaptation, constitute crucial aspects of the translation process. Through a comprehensive understanding and proficient application of these aspects, accurate, effective, and reader-oriented information transformation can be achieved from the source language to the target language. This paper primarily explores the understanding and handling of cultural differences between the source and target languages in the translation process, with a specific focus on considering the target audience and their cultural backgrounds, along with the significant strategies of equivalence substitution and cultural adaptation for resolving cultural disparities.

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.
