Abstract

Reform and opening up is an important proposition of Marxist philosophy, and human liberation is the logical starting point of reform and opening up. From the perspective of Marxist philosophy, reform and opening up has a dual effect on human liberation: on the one hand, it provides the historical premise and realistic foundation for human liberation; on the other hand, it promotes human liberation. Under the current situation, to further advance reform and opening up, we must correctly understand the dialectical relationship between human liberation and development, and grasp the historical effects and theoretical value of reform and opening up on human liberation from the perspective of historical materialism and dialectical materialism.

Keywords : Reform and Opening Up, Philosophical Perspective, Marxism, Philosophical Thought.

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.
