Objective To explore the application of the evidence-based case report method in the standardization training of resident physicians in the department of endocrinology. Methods Fifty-one resi-dents recruited from the endocrinology department were randomly divided into the experiment group (26 cases) and control group (25 cases). The evidence-based case report method was conducted in the ex-peri-mental group, while the traditional clinical teaching mode was applied in the control group. The re-sults of the examination of two groups including the theoretical test and skill test were compared and the question-naire survey was conducted to find out the differences of students' interest in learning, clinical skills and satisfaction. All data were compared using t test. Results There was no significant difference in theoretical test between the two groups (P>0.05). The total score of the skill test in the experimental group was (85.13 ±4.63) and the control group was (76.79 ±3.11) (P=0.000). The students in the experimental group showed that the teaching method had more significant effects on improving their learning interest and initiative, clinical thinking ability, clinical work ability, literature review ability and medical article writing ability. Scores of satisfaction with teaching methods (total score was 10) for experimental group were (9.69 ±0.34), which was also significantly higher than those in the control group (8.01 ±0.39) (P=0.000). Conclusion The application of evidence-based case report teaching method in the standardized training of resident physicians in department of endocrinology is worthy of being perfected and further popularized in clinical teaching work.

Objective:
To investigate the efficiency and safety of domestic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) dasatinib (Yinishu) as second-line treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP).
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of clinical data of CML-CP patients who received domestic dasatinib as second-line treatment in the CML collaborative group hospitals of Hubei province from March 2016 to July 2018 was performed. The optimal response rate, the cumulative complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), the cumulative major molecular responses (MMR), progression free survival (PFS), event free survival (EFS) and adverse effects (AEs) of the patients were assessed at 3, 6 and 12 months of treatment.
Results:
A total of 83 CML-CP patients were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up time was 23 months. The optimal response rates at 3, 6 and 12 months in 83 CML-CP patients treated with dasatinib were 77.5% (54/71), 72.6% (61/75) and 60.7% (51/69), respectively. By the end of follow-up, the cumulative CCyR and MMR rates were 65.5% (55/80) and 57.1% (48/73), respectively. The median time to achieving CCyR and MMR was 3 months. During follow-up time, the PFS rate was 94.0% (79/83) and the EFS rate was 77.4% (65/83). The most common non-hematological AEs of dasatinib were edema (32.5%), rash itching (18.1%) and fatigue (13.3%). The common hematological AEs of dasatinib were thrombocytopenia (31.3%), leukopenia (19.3%) and anemia (6.0%).
Conclusion
Domestic dasatinib was effective and safe as the second-line treatment of CML-CP patients and it can be used as an option for CML-CP patients.
