"Spirit turns but does not reverse; if it reverses, it ceases to turn" originates from the Plain Questions: Discussion on Essential Jade Plates (《素问·玉版论要篇》). It profoundly summarizes the objectivity of life as a phenomenon subject to the laws of the universe and nature, while also expressing the subjectivity of individuals possessing systematic, stable, and ordered biological rhythms. In light of relevant ancient philosophical insights, the theory of "spirit turns but does not reverse; if it reverses, it ceases to turn" embodies the principles of constant motion in life, change according to dao (道), orderly progression, and the rule that reversal disrupts continuity. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, one should adopt the therapeutic principle of regulating spirit to promote "spirit turning". Guiding along the trend and acting in accordance with the natural momentum must be adopted to maintain the operation of spirit turning. Adhering to constancy while recognizing variability, and prioritizing harmony above all, should be employed to ensure the orderly progress of spirit turning. Regulating qi movement serves as the driving force behind facilitating spirit turning. This will provide clinical insights and theoretical foundations for treating diseases through the concept of "regulating spirit".

Radiotherapy can cause functional and morphological changes in the brain tissues of patients with primary or metastatic malignant brain tumors, leading to radiation-induced brain injury. However, the pathogenesis of radiation-induced brain injury has not yet been unanimously determined, and its research advances and treatment protocols are yet to be elucidated and improved. In this study, we explore the pathogenesis of radiation-induced brain injury from the perspective of vascular injury, inflammatory reactions, neuronal dysfunction, glial cell injury, and gut microbiota and reviewed the advances in research on its treatment and prevention. The purpose is to provide a reference and theoretical basis for the research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced brain injury.

Objective To explore the feasibility and short-term clinical efficacy of single segment thora-columbar tuberculosis treated with one-stage posterior approach lamina-sparing decompression.Methods A total of 11 patients with single segment thoracolumbar tuberculosis who underwent one-stage posterior ap-proach preservation of vertebral plate lesion removal,bone graft fusion,and internal fixation treatment in this hospital from September 2021 to June 2022 were selected.C-reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate(ESR)were monitored to evaluate tuberculosis bacteremia and activity control,visual analogue scale(VAS)score and Oswestry disability index(ODI)were followed up to evaluate the improvement of clin-ical function,and the American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)injury scale was used to evaluate neurologi-cal function,and the correction of kyphosis was followed up.Results All 11 patients were fully followed up.The average surgical duration is(270.91±45.98)minutes,and the average surgical bleeding is(522.72± 194.11)mL.During the follow-up period,none of the 11 patients experienced tuberculosis recurrence,and all 11 patients achieved bone graft fusion.The fusion time was 6-9 months after surgery with an average of(7.36±1.12)months.Two patients with preoperative nerve damage recovered after surgery.During the fol-low-up period,11 patients did not experience any complications related to surgery.The average CRP,ESR,ODI score,and VAS score of postoperative patients decreased compared to preoperative levels,and further de-creased at 12 months after surgery;The patient's kyphosis caused by thoracolumbar tuberculosis was correc-ted,and no obvious angle loss was found at the last follow-up(P>0.05).Conclusion One-stage posterior ap-proach lamina-sparing decompression is a safe and effective method for treating single segment thoracolumbar tuberculosis.

Background:
In the Chinese coal industry, widespread blame avoidance behavior (BAB) greatly impacts coal mine accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the BAB of coal mine managers and raise the management level of coal mine enterprises for the safe development of Chinese coal industry.
Methods:
Based on the semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys (20 middle-level managers in coal mines), this paper used the Grounded Theory and Nvivo Software qualitative research methodology to open, spindle, and selectively encode the interview data. Then, an index system of factors influencing BAB of coal mine managers was constructed. The influence degree, affected degree, centrality degree, cause degree of each influencing factor were calculated and the hierarchical model of influencing factors of BAB of coal mine managers was established by the DEMATEL-ISM method which is a decision support tool used to evaluate and analyze the interdependencies between influencing factors.
Results:
Index system of factors influencing BAB of coal mine managers included four levels and 12 influencing factors: individual, organizational, institutional environmental, and situational factors. The hierarchical model identified eight causal factors and four consequential factors, of which safety management (15.355), work attitude (14.380), and work group performance (14.281) in the top three of the centrality rankings are the key factors affecting the avoidance behavior of coal mine managers; A 3-level multilevel structure was constructed to reflect the interactions among the factors influencing the BAB of coal mine managers in terms of direct, indirect, and root causes, and corresponding improvement measures were proposed.
Conclusion
This study offers a theoretical complement and practical guidance for stopping BAB of coal mine managers.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap in repair of soft tissue defect of dorsal side of the fingers.Methods:From August 2015 to July 2020, 19 patients with soft tissue defects on dorsal fingers were treated with microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap. The area of wound defect was 3.8 cm×1.5 cm-5.8 cm×3.0 cm, with exposure of phalanges and tendons. The size of flaps was 4.0 cm×1.8 cm-6.0 cm×3.3 cm. According to the size of soft tissue defects on the dorsal side of the fingers, the flaps were designed with the perforating branch of peroneal artery in the centre. The length and width of a flap were 0.2-0.3 cm bigger and wider than the area of defect. The perforator vessels with a length of 2.0-3.0 cm were arvested in the superficial layer of deep fascia. Most of the adipose tissues of the flap were removed under microscope, and the small arteries between adipose tissues were protected. The flaps were used to cover the defects of fingers. The perforator artery of the flap was anastomosed with the proper palmar digital artery of the recipient site, the accompanying vein of the perforator artery was anastomosed with the dorsal digital vein of the recipient site, and the cutaneous nerve in the flap was anastomosed with the dorsal digital nerve. The donor sites were directly pulled together and sutured intermittently. Outpatient and WeChat follow-up were conducted after operation, including wound healing, flap survival, flap sensation, donor site recovery, and flexion and extension functions of the fingers. Functional recovery was evaluated according to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All wounds healed in Ⅰ stage, and all 19 flaps survived. The follow-up ranged from 9 to 25 months, with an average of 11.5 months. The appearance of the flaps was satisfactory and the texture was good. Sensation recoveried to S 4 in 4 paitients, S 3 in 9 patients and S 2 in 6 patients, and with only a linear scar was left in the donor sites. The hand function recovery was evaluated according to the Trial Criteria of Upper Limb Function Evaluation of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association, with 18 cases were excellent and 1 was good. Conclusion:The microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap is an ideal surgical method to repair the soft tissue defect of dorsal side of the fingers, which has good shape and simple operation, avoids the secondary thinning and plastic surgery and offers good therapeutic effects.
