Abstract
Since 2015, Chinese animatied films frequently used folk tales or traditional visual styles, making them clearly indigenous. However, this trend has weakened in the past one or two years. While the output of domestic animations has gradually declined, the academic community has also begun to discuss the difficulties faced in producing localised animations. This study posits that such discussions often lack the valuable perspective of animated film directors, who actively contribute to the animation industry and are indispensable when deliberating on the production of animated films. To address this, this study employs in-depth interviews as a method of engagement with 19 seasoned Chinese animated film directors and experts, with the aim of understanding their cognition of and attitudes to animation localisation. It offers a fresh outlook on the localisation of animated films and aspires to provide valuable insights for animators at home and abroad.

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.
