Enhanced recovery after surgery suggests the use of multimodal analgesia to optimize the perioperative pain management scheme. At present, studies have shown that the application of acupuncture combined anesthesia in thoracoscopy has achieved good curative effect. However, there is no relevant systematic evaluation. Our study is the first meta-analysis of the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture combined anesthesia in pain management after thoracoscopy, in order to provide strong evidence for clinical support. ⋯ The research has been registered and approved on the INPLASY website. The registration number is INPLASY 2021120129.

Review Case Reports
MR imaging features of Lhermitte-Duclos disease: Case reports and literature review.
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare tumor of the nervous system with a typical "tiger striped'" sign, but its features on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are still inconclusive. ⋯ Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility-weighted imaging combined with conventional MRI can be used to better diagnose LDDs. Perfusion-weighted imaging is not specific for distinguishing cerebellar tumors. The combined application of fMRI and conventional MRI can improve the accuracy of LDD diagnoses.
