Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco exposure has been recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and progression of kidney disease. Patients with proteinuric glomerulopathies are at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Multiple studies have linked tobacco exposure to CVD and chronic kidney disease, but the relationships between smoking and proteinuric glomerulopathies in adults and children have not been previously explored. METHODS Data from the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE), a multi-center prospective observational study of participants with proteinuric glomerulopathies, was analyzed. 371 adults and 192 children enrolled in NEPTUNE were included in the analysis. Self-reported tobacco exposure was classified as non-smoker, active smoker, former smoker, or exclusive passive smoker. Baseline serum cotinine levels were measured in a sub-cohort of 178 participants. RESULTS The prevalence of active smokers, former smokers and exclusive passive smoking among adults at baseline was 14.6%, 29.1% and 4.9%, respectively. Passive smoke exposure was 16.7% among children. Active smoking (reference non-smoking) was significantly associated with greater total cholesterol among adults (β 17.91 95% CI 0.06, 35.76, p = 0.049) while passive smoking (reference non-smoking) was significantly associated with greater proteinuria over time among children (β 1.23 95% CI 0.13, 2.33, p = 0.03). Higher cotinine levels were associated with higher baseline eGFR (r = 0.17, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Tobacco exposure is associated with greater risk for CVD and worse kidney disease outcomes in adults and children with proteinuric glomerulopathies. Preventive strategies to reduce tobacco exposure may help protect against future cardiovascular and kidney morbidity and mortality in patients with proteinuric glomerulopathies.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) acutely damages the brain; this injury can evolve into chronic neurodegeneration. While much is known about the chronic effects arising from multiple mild TBIs, far less is known about the long-term effects of a single moderate to severe TBI. We found that a single moderate closed head injury to mice induces diffuse axonal injury within 1-day post-injury (DPI). At 14 DPI, injured animals have atrophy of ipsilesional cortex, thalamus, and corpus callosum, with bilateral atrophy of the dorsal fornix. Atrophy of the ipsilesional corpus callosum is accompanied by decreased fractional anisotropy and increased mean and radial diffusivity that remains unchanged between 14 and 180 DPI. Injured animals show an increased density of phospho-tau immunoreactive (pTau+) cells in the ipsilesional cortex and thalamus, and bilaterally in corpus callosum. Between 14 and 180 DPI, atrophy occurs in the ipsilesional ventral fornix, contralesional corpus callosum, and bilateral internal capsule. Diffusion tensor MRI parameters remain unchanged in white matter regions with delayed atrophy. Between 14 and 180 DPI, pTau+ cell density increases bilaterally in corpus callosum, but decreases in cortex and thalamus. The location of pTau+ cells within the ipsilesional corpus callosum changes between 14 and 180 DPI; density of all cells increases including pTau+ or pTau- cells. >90% of the pTau+ cells are in the oligodendrocyte lineage in both gray and white matter. Density of thioflavin-S+ cells in thalamus increases by 180 DPI. These data suggest a single closed head impact produces multiple forms of chronic neurodegeneration. Gray and white matter regions proximal to the impact site undergo early atrophy. More distal white matter regions undergo chronic, progressive white matter atrophy with an increasing density of oligodendrocytes containing pTau. These data suggest a complex chronic neurodegenerative process arising from a single moderate closed head injury.
