Objective:To analyze the current employment status and the reasons for not engaging in general practice among general practice residents who completed training during 2018-2020.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey on the current employment was conducted among general practice residents who completed redidency training from 2018 to 2020, participants were selected by stratified random sampling in 57 training centers from each 5 provinces(municipalities) of the eastern, middle and western regions in China. The reasons for not engaging in general practice were investigated through telephone contact.Results:Of the 1 037 general practice residents who responded to the questionnaire, 677 residents(65.3%, 677/1 037) were engaged in general practice after training, while 360 residents(34.7%, 360/1 037) left general practice career or were awaiting employment. The three provinces with the highest proportion of residents leaving general practice career were Hubei(76.5%, 26/360), Sichuan(74.4%, 29/360) and Shandong provinces(59.6%, 28/360). There were significant differences in proportion of residents leaving general practice career after completing the training among eastern, middle and western regions(χ 2=42.911, P<0.001). A total of 261 participants(25.2%, 261/1 037) were engaged in non-general practice clinical career like internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics or medical imaging; and the proportion in the eastern(27.3%, 67/245) and middle(33.3%, 106/318) regions was significantly higher thant that in the western region(18.6%, 88/474)(χ 2=6.855, P<0.05; χ 2=21.651, P<0.05). Among 259(71.9%, 259/360) participants who left general practice career, the main reasons were personal choice(63.3%, 164/259) or employers′ arrangement(22.4%, 58/259); the three provinces with the highest percentage of personal choice were Hubei(92.0%, 23/25), Sichuan(85.2%, 23/27) and Henan provinces(80.0%, 20/25). The proportion of personal choice in the middle region(82.4%, 84/102) was significantly higher than that in the eastern(52.1%, 37/71) and western(50.0%, 43/86) regions(χ 2=16.799, P<0.05; χ 2=20.830, P<0.05). The three provinces with the highest proportion of employers′ arrangement were Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region(66.7%, 22/33), Zhejiang province(9/13), and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region(38.5%, 10/26). The proportion of employers′ arrangement in the western region(41.9%,36/86) was significantly higher than that in the eastern(18.3%, 13/71) and middle(8.8%, 9/102) regions(χ 2=8.980, P<0.05; χ 2=26.186, P<0.05).

Objective:To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers.Methods:From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes. The clinical data were collected and literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers were male. They were 32, 45, 67 and 39 years old, respectively. The main clinical manifestations were bloody phlegm, abdominal pain, fatigue and anorexia. The clinical stages at diagnosis were stage Ⅳ (3 cases) and stage Ⅱ (1 case). Cases 2 and 3 had two pathological examinations at different sites, with a total of six pathological examinations. The histomorphology showed singly scattered or nests of tumor cells in a background of abundant small lymphocytes. The tumor cells were enlarged and pleomorphic, some appeared polygonal with inconspicuous cell borders, and they were arranged in a syncytial pattern. There were megakaryocytes, multinucleated tumor cells, and a few spindle-shaped cells seen. Atypical mitosis was commonly noted. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(5/6), CK8/18(4/4), CAM5.2(2/5), CK-H(0/4), CK-L(3/4), EMA(4/5), CK5/6(3/6), p63(1/6), p40(1/6), E-cadherin (4/6), SSTR2(6/6), PD-L1(5/5), LCA(0/6), vimentin(5/6), CD2 (6/6), CD23(6/6), CD35(5/6), CXCL-13(4/5) and D2-40(1/5). The Ki-67 proliferative index was 60%-95%. In situ hybridization for EBER were all positive (6/6). Special stain for reticulin showed positive staining surrounding nests of tumor cells.Conclusions:The expression of follicular dendritic cell markers in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is very rare, which may be related to EBV infection. Occasionally, it can overlap with follicular dendritic cell sarcoma by morphology and immunophenotype, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Only by combining clinical information, morphological characteristics and immunophenotype can an appropriate diagnosis be made.

Objective:To survey the post competency of general practitioners who had completed residency training in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey was conducted among general practitioners, institution leaders and patients from January to February 2021. The participants were selected from 45 general practice residential training bases in the eastern, central and western regions of China by a combination of stratified sampling and proportional random sampling methods. The post competency self-assessment questionnaire was used for the general practitioners, and the competency evaluation questionnaire was used for institution leaders and the patients.Results:A total of 677 valid self-assessment questionnaires were returned from general practitioners, 600 from institution leaders, and 2 579 from patients. The professionalism and humanistic literacy of the self-assessment questionnaire had the highest score (4.41±0.60),and the teaching, learning and research abilities had the lowest score(3.57±0.84). There was no significant difference in the post competency score of general practitioners among different regions ( P>0.05). The highest score of general practitioners′ post competency evaluated by leaders was the professionalism and humanistic literacy (4.64±0.57), and the lowest one was the basic public health service ability (4.31±0.95). The score of professionalism and humanistic ability in the eastern region was significantly higher than that in the central and western regions ( P<0.05). The highest score of general practitioners′ post competency evaluated by patients was the professionalism and humanistic literacy (4.73±0.55), and the lowest score was the basic medical service ability (4.11±1.35). There were significant differences in scores of the ability for basic medical service, ability for basic public health service, ability for interpersonal communication and ability for professionalism and humanistic literacy among different regions ( P<0.05). For institution leaders, 68.2% (409/600) believed that the general practitioners were fully competent for their current jobs, 28.7% (172/600) believed that the general practitioners were basically competent for their current jobs. For patients, 70.5% (1 817/2 579) were very satisfied with the general practitioners′ service, and 27.1% (700/2 579) were basically satisfied with the general practitioners′ service. Conclusions:The competency of general practitioners who had received training in some provinces is basically up to standard, but the basic public health service ability and teaching, learning and research ability need to be improved.
