Abstract

In modern society, due to the development of science and technology and the continuous development of society, communication between the East and the West is becoming increasingly frequent, and economic, political, cultural, and even social life have become closer. In this international environment, communication barriers caused by language issues have become a focus of attention, and Chinese communication education has also received widespread attention. Meanwhile, with the continuous deepening of Chinese education, the conflicts and exchanges between Chinese and Western cultures in Chinese teaching have become increasingly prominent. In Chinese communication teaching, religious identity can have a certain impact on students' attitudes, values, and language use. This study aims to explore the impact of religious identity on Chinese language communication education, and provides a comprehensive summary based on relevant literature and empirical research. By analyzing the language acquisition and cultural cognition of learners from different religious backgrounds, we hope to provide in-depth understanding of religious identity in Chinese communication education and provide useful references for Chinese education practice and textbook writing. At the same time, this study also contributes to promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding, further promoting the development of Chinese as an international language.

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.
