Abstract: 
paraquat (PQ), a highly effective herbicide, is widely used worldwide. PQ poisoning can cause multiple organ failure, in which the lung is the primary target organ. After PQ poisoning, the patient mortality rate is as high as 90%, and there is currently no specific antidote. The main clinical treatment is the use of glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide for pulse therapy, but its effectiveness and safety are still uncertain. We investigated the effectiveness and safety of immunosuppressive pulse therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide to evaluate the treatment value in patients with acute PQ poisoning. This meta-analysis, combined with seven trials that enrolled a total of 426 patients, showed that immunosuppressive pulse therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide for PQ poisoning significantly reduced mortality of the study group (59.3%, 134/226) compared with the control group (81.0%, 162/200). There was no significant difference of hepatitis or renal failure between the control and study groups, indicating that immunosuppressive pulse therapy was relatively safe. Several patients were reported to have leukopenia and returned to normal after 1–2 weeks without any abnormalities. Two cases of non-fatal sepsis were reported and considered to be a side effect of the immunosuppressive pulse therapy. Thus, immunosuppressive pulse therapy can efficiently reduce the mortality of PQ poisoning and it is relatively safe.

关于免疫抑制冲击治疗百草枯中毒的安全性和有效性评价系统回顾和荟萃分析

目的:评估免疫抑制冲击治疗百草枯中毒患者的安全性和有效性.
创新点:报告了在百草枯中毒的患者中,使用免疫抑制冲击治疗的效果,确定了其是否会增加患者发生肝炎和肾衰的风险.
方法:我们检索了截止于2018年6月,发表在PubMed, EMBASE和Cochrane三个数据库中关于免疫抑制冲击治疗百草枯中毒患者的文献.经过筛选,最终有7篇文献符合纳入标准,总共426位病人,并采用RevMan软件进行数据分析.
结论:对纳入的7篇文献进行荟萃分析,发现使用免疫抑制冲击治疗能够有效的降低百草枯中毒患者的死亡率,而且是相对安全的,不会增加患者发生肝炎或者肾衰的发生率.部分文献报道一些患者出现了白细胞减少,但都在停药后1~2周内恢复正常.另外,文献还报道了两例非致死性的脓毒症,这可能是免疫抑制治疗造成的免疫功能低下引起的.
