Abstract

This study delves into the core values of oriental aesthetic thought and how it leads the design of modern urban public space. Oriental wisdom emphasizes the harmony of the universe, the minimalism and emptiness of form, the symmetry and order of composition, and the allegory and implication of symbols. These concepts are reflected in the urban landscapes of countries such as China, Japan and Korea. When exploring oriental aesthetics-driven public space design, we focus on the innovation of local cultural symbols, the combination of technology and aesthetics, the fusion of ecology and humanity, community co-construction and sharing, and the evolution of design and humanized details. Through case studies, this paper demonstrates the contribution and influence of oriental aesthetics in urban public space 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.
