AbstractEligible studies were searched in Cochrane library, Pubmed, Medline, CBM, CNKI and VIP databases from establishment to June 2014. Two researchers independently identified 7 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and extracted data of Brucea javanica oil emulsion injection combined with chemotherapy. Based on the published studies, the researchers analyzed them by RevMan 5.2 software and investigated the efficacy and safety of Brucea javanica oil emulsion injection combined with chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer by Meta analysis. Meta analysis showed that, compared with the simple chemotherapy, Brucea javanica oil emulsion injection combined with chemotherapy could increase objective response rate by 43%(RR=1.43, P<0.001). In addition, the incidence of neutropenia (RR=0.56, P<0.001), thrombocytopenia (RR=0.64, P=0.02), nausea, vomit (RR=0.66, P=0.002) decreased in these patients. However, the quality of life was not improved significantly in gastric carcinoma patients with combined therapy (RR=1.36, P=0.07). The paper suggested Brucea javanica oil emulsion injection combined with chemotherapy could increase efficacy and safety, which might be a promising therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer.Copyright© by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
