Since its founding,the Management Center of Shenzhen Public Hospitals,on the basis of summarizing and inheriting reform outcomes in the past,has been working on to streamline the relationship between the government,public hospitals and the society in line with the general reform requirements of the stateupholding public welfare nature,motivating and ensuring sustainability.The center carries out a general reform covering the hospital management system,operating mechanism,supervision mode,and service mode.This way the center has built a set of contemporary hospital management system fitting Shenzhen' s conditions,encouraging hospital operations to better embody the interests of the government,medical workers and the society,and to better cover quality,equity and efficiency,thus effectively improving the management performance and services of the hospitals in question.

In order to reform the medical talent evaluation system, establish evaluation systems of physician competency, and implement physician resources management systems according to work position, and the compensa-tion system which reflects the value of medical services, The basic principles and standards of different physician tiers and grades are created in Shenzhen based on literature review, expert consultation and the methods from the American Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) . Some results have achieved, including medical competency as-sessment of a certain number of physicians in the pilot project ( the coincidence rate of special hospitals is higher than general hospitals, respectively 78. 9% and 44. 8% ), comprehensive personnel systems reforms in public hospi-tals, and the trial selection of medical talents. The paper also provides some implications:The cognition of all sectors of society and physician themselves should be improved, Transitional policies for position recruitment and performance pay needs further improvement. Meanwhile, the grade evaluation system of non-physicians must also be given greater attention.

Shenzhen implemented the health reform on the separation of drug prescribing and dispensing.This policy abolished the drug price addition system,which interrupted the interest chain between hospitals and pharmaceutical enterprises,and curbed the over-medication and use of expensive drugs.Such a reform has lowered the average cost of diagnose and treatment,the out-of-pocket payment by those covered by social insurance,outpatient infusion and the utilization of antibiotics.To further strengthen these outcomes and maintain the momentum of this policy,Shenzhen will further improve the compensation system for public hospitals,encourage the medical staffs' work enthusiasm and implement the reform measures actively.

Animal experiments are widely used in biomedical research for safety assessment, toxicological analysis, efficacy evaluation, and mechanism exploration. In recent years, the ethical review system has become more stringent, and awareness of animal welfare has continuously increased. To promote more efficient and cost-effective drug research and development, the United States passed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Modernization Act 2.0 in September 2022, which removed the federal mandate requiring animal testing in preclinical drug research. In April 2025, the FDA further proposed to adopt a series of "new alternative methods" in the research and development of drugs such as monoclonal antibodies, which included artificial intelligence computing models, organoid toxicity tests, and 3D micro-physiological systems, thereby gradually phasing out traditional animal experiment models. Among these cutting-edge technologies, 3D bioprinting models are a significant alternative and complement to animal models, owing to their high biomimetic properties, reproducibility, and scalability. This review provides a comprehensive overview of advancements and applications of 3D bioprinting technology in the fields of biomedical and pharmaceutical research. It starts by detailing the essential elements of 3D bioprinting, including the selection and functional design of biomaterials, along with an explanation of the principles and characteristics of various printing strategies, highlighting the advantages in constructing complex multicellular spatial structures, regulating microenvironments, and guiding cell fate. It then discusses the typical applications of 3D bioprinting in drug research and development,including high-throughput screening of drug efficacy by constructing disease models such as tumors, infectious diseases, and rare diseases, as well as conducting drug toxicology research by building organ-specific models such as those of liver and heart. Additionally,the review examines the role of 3D bioprinting in tissue engineering, discussing its contributions to the construction of functional tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin, and blood vessels, as well as the latest progress in regeneration and replacement. Furthermore, this review analyzes the complementary advantages of 3D bioprinting models and animal models in the research of disease progression, drug mechanisms, precision medicine, drug development, and tissue regeneration, and discusses the potential and challenges of their integration in improving model accuracy and physiological relevance. In conclusion, as a cutting-edge in vitro modeling and manufacturing technology, 3D bioprinting is gradually establishing a comprehensive application system covering disease modeling, drug screening, toxicity prediction, and tissue regeneration.
