Abstract

This study explores the integration of religious elements and contemporary Chinese design aesthetics, analyzes the historical origins of religious elements in design, and the development and characteristics of contemporary Chinese design aesthetics. The paper further elaborates on the expression of religious elements in contemporary Chinese design, including the modern expression of religious symbols and the use of religious colors and patterns. At the same time, through cases in the two fields of architectural design and product design, the innovative practice of religious elements in contemporary Chinese design is demonstrated. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by religious elements in design, such as cultural differences, aesthetic acceptance, commercialization risks, and the rise of the religious and cultural tourism market. Finally, it looks forward to the future development trend of religious elements in contemporary Chinese design aesthetics, emphasizing the cultural inheritance and innovative mission of religious elements in design.

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.
