The overuse of drugs and the irrational increase in medical expenses are currently hot social issues. Standards need to be set in a strict way so as to reasonably contain the cost of medical and health care and die prices of drugs and to lower the expenses of medical services. Analyses conducted in our hospital indicate that the component ratio of the drug income fell from 48.1% in January through June, 2001 to 38.7% one year later; the hospital's overall income in January through June, 2002 dropped 5.3% as compared with the same period of 2001, with the drug income dropping 23.7% and the medical treatment income rising 11.8%; the average expenses bom by emergency outpatients and discharged patients in January through June, 2002 both lowered as compared with the same period of 2001. The authors hold that the component ratio of the drug income ought to be a key index in assessing the integrated management Wei of a hospital; the proportion of the drug income in the overall income of a hospital ought to be restricted to 40% or so; and when general plans are being made for a hospital as a whole with regard to the proportion of the drug income, different standards ought to be set for various specialties.

Objective To analysis the result of tumor screening for health examination participants.Methods Tumor screening was applied for 15 863 health examination participants without malignant tumor disease history.Clinical examination,laboratory tests and imaging studies were comprehensively analysed combining the results of other medical items.The cancer detection rate and asymptomatic rate were compared among groups of different age,gender and existence of relevant clinical symptoms,respectively.χ2 test and Fisher exact test were adopted for statistical analysis.Results Among 475 tumor patients with a definite diagnosis,116 were malignant tumor;The total detection rate of the group who were younger than 35 year-old(0.617%)was higher than other groups,the detection rate of intracranial neoplasms of the two groups who were younger than 45 year-old (0.206% and 0.132%,respectively)was higher than other groups,the total detection rate of 75-85 group (0.248%)was lower than other groups; The detection rate of lung cancer,liver cancer of the male(0.228% and 0.080%,respectively)was higher than the female,The detection rate of breast cancer and intracranial neoplasms of the female(0.366% and 0.100%,respectively)was higher than the male; There are 67 patients without correlated clinical symptoms,the asymptomatic rate was 57.8%.Conclusions Tumor screening was of importance in health management,which should be carried out actively in health examination.
