Abstract

Overseas scholars generally agree that the opening up of a new path of Chinese-style modernisation is rich in cultural factors, and believe that the excellent traditional Chinese culture is the cultural background of Chinese-style modernisation, the revolutionary culture and the advanced socialist culture are the cultural qualities of Chinese-style modernisation, and the Western modernisation culture is the catalyst of Chinese-style modernisation. Based on the development path and remarkable achievements of Chinese-style modernisation, overseas scholars generally agree that Chinese-style modernisation has shaped new economic, political, social and ecological cultural forms, thus constituting the cultural form of Chinese-style modernisation. Under the influence of ideology, analytical perspective and overseas "public opinion protectionism" and other factors, overseas scholars have a tendency to perceive the cultural dynamics of Chinese modernisation in an absolutist way, and misunderstand and distort the cultural form shaped by Chinese modernisation. Therefore, it has become the mission of contemporary China to make a good cultural narrative of Chinese-style modernisation to the outside world and actively create a cultural logo of Chinese-style modernisation.

Keywords : Chinese-Style Modernisation; Overseas Cognition; Cultural Form; New Form Of Human Civilisation.

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.
