Abstract

Background: The communication of green ecological philosophies and the reshaping of a city's public image have gained prominence in the context of sustainable urban development. Media platforms are critical in transmitting these ecological narratives, while city image strategies align urban branding with sustainability goals. However, challenges remain in effectively leveraging these strategies to influence public perception and drive ecological initiatives. Objective: This paper examines integrating the "Two Mountains" philosophy into media communication and city branding strategies, highlighting its impact on enhancing public awareness, trust, and economic outcomes. The study focuses on how cities utilize traditional and digital media to disseminate ecological values while reshaping their public image. Methods: The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining case studies, media analysis, and urban branding evaluations. Key metrics such as public engagement, policy integration, eco-tourism revenue growth, and carbon emissions reduction were analyzed across cities like Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Copenhagen. Data were collected through surveys, social media metrics, and official urban development reports. Results: Findings indicate that cities adopting the "Two Mountains" philosophy saw significant increases in public engagement (e.g., Hangzhou: 30%) and eco-tourism revenue (e.g., 20% annual growth). Media platforms, particularly digital ones, demonstrated superior reach and engagement in communicating green philosophies. Shenzhen achieved a notable 18% reduction in carbon emissions through integrated policies. Conclusion: The "Two Mountains" philosophy effectively aligns ecological preservation with urban branding, fostering sustainable development. Expanding digital communication strategies further amplifies its global applicability and influence in city branding and ecological awareness campaigns.

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.
