Abstract

Utilizing the modern application of traditional Chinese costume embroidery patterns as a starting point, and addressing its challenges, this research explores culturally sustainable methods within a modern context. It employs line elements to generate and design contemporary embroidery patterns, incorporating glitch art for the visual effects of these images, and integrates random elements into the design approach in generative and glitch art. Focusing on the creative process, it utilizes Touch Designer as the primary digital tool and employs case study methods to investigate modern approaches for transforming traditional patterns using digital media technology. This research is pioneering in integrating pattern generative art with new media and fashion, infusing traditional patterns with contemporary artistic traits, reimagining visual forms, enriching cultural contexts, and fostering dynamic innovation. It offers insights for the sustainable preservation and dissemination of Chinese traditional intangible cultural heritage in the modern era.

Keywords : Traditional Chinese Costume Embroidery Patterns; Cultural Sustainability; Digital Generative Art; Touch Designer; Pattern Innovation.

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.
