title: [Meta-analysis on treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with brucea javanica oil emulsion in combination with platinum-contained first-line chemotherapy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the efficacy and safety of brucea javanica oil emulsion (BJOE) combining platinum-contained first-line chemotherapy in treating non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, VIP, CBM and CNKI were searched through computers. The search was finished in February, 2011. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of BJOE combining platinum-contained first-line chemotherapy were included. Two researchers extracted data and assess literature quality separately,and made a meta-analyses by RevMan 5.1.2 software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Totally 22 RCTs involving 1512 patients were included. The Meta-analysis showed that compared with the pure application of platinum-contained first-line chemotherapy,the combination of BJOE and chemotherapy can enhance the near-term curative effect (RR = 1. 31, 95% CI: 1.18-1.45, P < 0. 000 01), improve the quality of life (RR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.51-2. 09, P < 0.00001) and reduce the suppression of bone marrow (OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0. 27-0. 51, P < 0.00001) and the gastrointestinal reactions (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.44-0.80, P = 0.0007) ,with an improvement in organism immunity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The current evidence indicates that BJOE can enhance the chemotherapeutic effect on NSCLC patients, improve the quality of life and reduce adverse effect of platinum-contained chemotherapeutics and thus it is worth referring in clinic.
