Abstract

Following the entourage of artificial intelligence and big data, technology has rapidly developed, a phenomenon that has seen a rise in contradictions between the elements of humanities and technology. Technology, Chinese ink culture, and art are, in this case, facing significant challenges and conflicts on the global scene. With the objective of safeguarding, preserving, and appreciating traditional Chinese Ink paintings, this article focuses on technology's use in advancing these perceptions. The article uses ordinary technologies to understand the impact of different technological advancements in enhancing the perception and appreciation of traditional Chinese ink painting. As viewed in the findings of this study, Chinese ink painters and artists are often inclined towards the subjective design of their paintings. This factor distinguishes them from other realistic painters renowned for turning the tables during the Renaissance period. The Renaissance ink painters, as opposed to the Chinese painters, focused on the use of three-dimensional ink painting techniques to achieve great harmony in their pictures. However, given the introduction of technology in Chinese ink painting, findings reveal that Chinese ink painters need to rely more on modernistic technologies to pursue randomness, spontaneity, and contingency in the painting of different traditional aesthetic effects.

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.
