Abstract

This article aims to explore the importance and significance of the overseas Chinese issue from the perspective of international relations and philosophical thinking, and analyze the attitude and policy of international relations towards the overseas Chinese issue. From the perspective of international relations, we first define the concepts and characteristics of international relations, and then outline and analyze the issue of overseas Chinese. Next, we explained the conceptual and theoretical basis of the international relations perspective, discussed the status and influence of the overseas Chinese issue in international relations, and analyzed the attitude and policy of international relations towards the overseas Chinese issue. In the section on philosophical thinking and overseas Chinese issues, we defined the concepts and characteristics of philosophical thinking, discussed the significance and role of philosophical thinking on overseas Chinese issues, and its application in solving overseas Chinese issues. At the same time, we analyzed the values ​​and ethical issues behind the overseas Chinese problem, and explored the solutions and implications of philosophical thinking for the overseas Chinese problem. Finally, through the enlightenment of philosophical research on the overseas Chinese issue, we proposed discussions on the overseas Chinese issue, cultural identity and overseas Chinese issues, justice and overseas Chinese issues, etc. In the conclusion part, we summarize the research content and main points of this article, and emphasize the importance of international relations perspective and philosophical thinking in studying overseas Chinese issues. Finally, we put forward the directions and suggestions for future research in order to provide reference and guidance for the research and solution of overseas Chinese issues.

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.
