Abstract

Liaozhai Tales, a classical Chinese literary work, mainly shows ecological aesthetic implications from three aspects: man and nature, man and society, and man and man themselves. Tales of Liaozhai not only depicts the true character and the amiable nature, but also highlights the intimacy and integration between man and nature in the life world. It shows the integrated relationship between man and nature with the story of the fate of man and natural objects and the sharing of life and death, which implies the ecological aesthetic connotation of harmony and unity between man and nature. The ecological aesthetic implication of Liaozhai Zhiyi has a multi-level influence on the development of later literature and ecological aesthetic theory. The work continues the natural writing which is isomorphic with human life in Liaozhai Zhiyi, and at the same time, it enters into a deeper spiritual connection and gives out practical significance. In A Dream of Red Mansions and The Transparent Carrot, nature is regarded as the symbol of life force. The former expresses the author's philosophical thinking on human destiny with the complexity and tragedy of "the union of wood and stone". The latter connects nature with man and constitutes a force that surpasses modern moral discipline, which both inherits and further develops from Liaozhai Zhiyi. It is a new practice of ecological aesthetics, and it makes a new contribution to the construction of Chinese discourse of ecological aesthetics.

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.
