Hypercoagulable state (HCS) after kidney transplantation is one of the common and serious complications in kidney transplant recipients, which has attracted increasing attention in recent years. HCS refers to the abnormal and excessive activation of blood coagulation function, leading to the increased risk of thrombosis. After kidney transplantation, the combined effects of hemodynamic changes, surgical trauma and severe rejection increase the incidence of HCS, not only raising the risk of thrombosis but also potentially causing graft failure and affecting the postoperative survival rate of patients. This article reviews the influencing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and preventive strategies of HCS after kidney transplantation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing perioperative management and improving the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a dual-endoscopic technique combining laparoscopy/robot-assisted laparoscopy with disposable flexible ureteroscopy for intraoperative localization and reconstruction in complex ureteral strictures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 patients with complex ureteral strictures(stenosis length ≥2 cm,multiple strictures,or iatrogenic stric-tures,or radiation-induced strictures)treated at Peking University People's Hospital between January 2023 and November 2024.All the patients underwent dual-endoscopic procedures using laparoscopy(n=17)or da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopy(n=4)combined with disposable flexible ureterosco-py.Preoperative evaluation included contrast-enhanced CT urography and diuretic renography.Intra-operatively,stricture localization was achieved by synchronizing laparoscopic light sources with uretero-scopic visualization.Surgical positions were optimized:non-split-leg oblique supine position for mid-upper strictures and lithotomy position for mid-lower strictures.Reconstruction strategies(lingual mucosa graft,bladder flap augmentation,or primary anastomosis)were selected based on stricture length and tension.Postoperative outcomes were assessed via symptom resolution,hydronephrosis improvement(ultrasono-graphic renal pelvis diameter),and stent-free patency.Results:The cohort included 10 males and 11 females[mean age(44.1±13.3)years].Etiologies included lithogenic strictures(71.4%,15/21),post-gynecologic surgery injury(4.8%),radiation-induced fibrosis(4.8%),and congenital factors(19.0%).Intraoperative findings revealed discrepancies in stricture localization compared with pre-operative imaging in 52.4%(11/21)of cases,necessitating extended resection or modified reconstruc-tion.Mean stricture length was(4.81±4.33)cm.Postoperative complications included transient urina-ry leakage(1 case)and secondary ureteral obstruction due to stone migration(1 case),both resolved without sequelae.At a mean follow-up of(10.76±6.81)months(range 2-21),hydronephrosis sig-nificantly improved in all the patients(100%efficacy),with no recurrence of strictures or symptom re-currence.Conclusion:The dual-endoscopic technique enhances intraoperative precision in complex ure-teral stricture management by integrating real-time luminal visualization with extraluminal anatomical guidance.This approach minimizes excessive resection of healthy ureter,optimizes reconstruction strate-gies,and reduces postoperative recurrence.The modified positioning protocol further improves ergonomic efficiency,making it a reliable and adaptable option for challenging ureteral pathologies.

With the continuous development of society, a large number of new chemicals are continuously emerging, which presents a challenge to current risk assessment and safety management of chemicals. Traditional toxicology research methods have certain limitations in quickly, efficiently, and accurately assessing the toxicity of many chemicals, and cannot meet the actual needs. In response to this challenge, computational toxicology that use mathematical and computer models to achieve the prediction of chemical toxicity has emerged. In the meantime, as researchers increasingly pay attention to understanding the interaction mechanisms between exogenous chemical substances and the body from the system level, and multiomics technologies develop rapidly such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, huge amounts of data have been generated, providing rich information resources for studying the interactions between chemical substances and biological molecules. System toxicology and network toxicology have also developed accordingly. Of these, network toxicology can integrate these multiomics data to construct biomolecular networks, and then quickly predict the key toxicological targets and pathways of chemicals at the molecular level. This paper outlined the concept and development of network toxicology, summarized the main methods and supporting tools of network toxicology research, expounded the application status of network toxicology in studying potential toxicity of exogenous chemicals such as agricultural chemicals, environmental pollutants, industrial chemicals, and foodborne chemicals, and analyzed the development prospects and limitations of network toxicology research. This paper aimed to provide a reference for the application of network toxicology in other fields.
