OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for medical costs control in China. METHODS:Based on main characteristics of the United States health service system,information asymmetry,principal-agent theory and Freedman’s consumption theory were used to analyze the advantages of restrictive relationship among doctors,hospitals and health insurance institutions in control-ling medical costs and improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment. The growth rate of medical cost,the percentage of drug ex-penditure and other aspects were compared between China and the United States;the effect of restrictive relationship on medical cost control was demonstrated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:In the United States,there are hierarchical medical system and two-way referral system;for-profit hospitals and non-profit hospitals are mutually complementary;different natures of health insur-ance system,different payment methods and strict“commercial bribe”monitoring system are carried out;doctors,hospitals and health insurance restrict each other. Not only there are many advantages in theory,but also in practice the growth rate of medical cost and the percentage of drug expenditure are superior to our country. Finally it controls the rapid growth of medical cost to a cer-tain extent. Combined with our national conditions,learning from the United States experience,restrictive relationship among doc-tors,hospitals and health insurance institutions is established to control the increase of medical cost in China through reducing infor-mation asymmetry and standardizing payment audit;establishing a scientific pattern of mixed payment;strengthening the indirect impact of the health insurance institutions on doctors and hospitals,etc.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of thyroid nodules as well as related influencing factors. Methods In this clinical study, 8,912 healthy people were included, involving medical staff, teachers, electric enterprise staff and civil authorities from January to December in 2014 . The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules and related influencing factors were investigated . Results (1) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules was 40.4%, 34.9%for male and 46.7%for female. The prevalence of female was higher than that of male (P<0.001);(2) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules showed a trend of increase with age (P<0.01);(3) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules in medical staff and teachers was significantly higher than others (P<0.001);(4) The difference was statistically significant in BMI, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose in thyroid nodule group and non thyroid nodules group (P<0.001). All indexes mentioned above of thyroid nodule group was much higher than those of non thyroid nodules group. (5) The prevalence rate of breast hyperplasia of females under the age of fifty years was significantly higher than those of non thyroid nodule group (P<0.001). Conclusion The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules is high. It is related to gender, age, occupation and estrogen. Effective measures should be taken to change people's bad habits, blood sugar control and blood pressure, reduce BMI and work tension in order to reduce the incidence of thyroid nodules.
