Clinical research and drug review of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer mortality in China. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of lung cancers. The mutation rate of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is relatively high, accounts for 32%~38% of all NSCLC. During the last decade, the application of EGFR specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) significantly improved prognosis of NSCLC patients with sensitive EGFR mutations. Thus, the research and development of third generation EGFR-TKI have entered the period of rapid development. The fourth generation EGFR-TKI which targeting EGFR C797S has even begun clinical development in China. This review will discuss the clinical research and drug review of EGFR-TKI from the perspective of drug review.

Combination Application of PBL and TBL in the Teaching of New Drug Clinical Research / 中国药师

Objective:To observe and analyze the application effect and value of problem based learning (PBL) combined with team-based learning(TBL) in the teaching of New Drug Clinical Research. Methods:Postgraduate students were randomly divided in-to two groups(n=20):"PBL+ TBL" group and lecture based learning(LBL) group. After the end of the teaching,the teaching ef-fectiveness survey and theory test of the groups were performed,and the results were compared. Results:The combined teaching meth-od (PBL+TBL) could stimulate learning enthusiasm, improve learning efficiency, and enhance the abilities of self-study, literature retrieval and analyzing and solving problems. Totally 90% of students thought the new teaching method had good application value in clinical teaching. Furthermore,the excellent rate of the theory test scores in the combined teaching group was better than that in the traditional teaching group (P<0.05). Conclusion: PBL combined with TBL can overcome the disadvantages of traditional teaching method,which provides higher interest,improved ability of self-study as well as higher teaching quality of medical students. The meth-od is worthy of promotion in postgraduate teaching.

Practice and Exploration for the Teaching of New Drug Clinical Research / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To Provide reference for improving teaching levels of New Drug Clinical Research and training for pharmaceutical research talents. METHODS:The experiment teaching in 2013 graduate student of the Fourth Military Medical Uni-versity was taken as a pilot,different teaching methods were introduced in various chapters of New Drug Clinical Research,and ap-praisal system was perfected. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Some appropriate methods are established,for example,conductive teaching,problem-based learning,spot-teaching and bilingual-teaching. The appraisal system including usual performance and re-search proposal is established,it has improved enthusiasm and initiative of students,promoted teaching quality,obtained certain achievements,which provides reference for the training methods on the cultivation of innovative and professional pharmaceutical tal-ents.
