Abstract

In the age of globalization, the design of urban cultural symbol systems plays a crucial role in achieving a creative transformation of Chinese traditional culture. To promote this transformation, this paper suggests three dimensions for urban cultural symbol systems: visual representation, behavioral aspects, and spiritual meaning. By examining these dimensions, this study explores various routes for creatively transforming Chinese traditional culture using urban cultural symbols. This analysis not only reveals the significance of urban cultural symbols but also provides fresh perspectives on the creative transformation of Chinese traditional culture.

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.
