Abstract

Landscape painting, a vital aspect of traditional Chinese art, embodies deep philosophical and cultural meanings. This article examines its value and application in spatial design. Representing the interplay between humanity, nature, and the cosmos, landscape paintings often feature mountains, rivers, and pavilions, symbolizing the ideal coexistence of humans and nature and reflecting aspirations for an idyllic life. These paintings prompt contemplation about human existence, nature's value, and the universe's essence. In terms of spatial application, landscape paintings enhance indoor environments with their decorative elements, bringing a sense of tranquility and natural harmony that promotes relaxation and well-being. Outdoors, their influence extends similarly, enriching spaces aesthetically and spiritually. Landscape painting's integration of philosophical depth and spatial utility underscores its enduring significance in Chinese culture and contemporary 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.
