Abstract

National culture is a collection of material and spiritual civilizations formed by a nation's diverse production and living activities, and it reflects the historical characteristics of a nation. Under the influence of “the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R)”, expanding the influence of China's excellent traditional culture is an important task to pioneer in the new era. Based on the outline of this initiative, the global promotion of China's unique traditional culture essentially entails the mutual integration of Chinese civilization and other countries' civilizations, the inheritance and the dissemination of Chinese cultural genes. A fundamental principle of the B&R is the promotion of win-win cooperation among countries along the silk road. Through this new international cooperation platform, China has given new impetus to common development and promoted mutual understanding, respect and trust among countries. The construction of a discourse system embodies not only a theoretical construction but also the inheritance and forging of a powerful force that influences human behavior. This paper discusses the connotation of China's excellent traditional culture and the problems of traditional cultural communication from the perspective of the "B&R" and analyzes the integration and innovation path of the "B&R" traditional cultural discourse system.

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.
