The association of the serum ApoB concentration with RRT was determined by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis. ApoB was measured in the serum.Results Ninety-three of the 258 DKD patients needed RRT during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with high ApoB were significantly more likely to progress to RRT than those with low ApoB (log-rank = 16.62, p  less then  0.001). The presence of high ApoB increased the risk of RRT. Analysis of ApoB as either a categorical ( less then 1.1 g/L or ≥1.1 g/l) or continuous variable by univariate and multivariate regression found that ApoB was an independent risk factor of DKD progression to RRT in this group of DKD patients with stage 3-5 CKD (p  less then  0.05).Conclusion Increased ApoB was an independent predictor of progression to RRT. A larger study is needed to confirm the unfavorable prognosis of increased ApoB in DKD patients.Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is common and can lead to persistent cognitive and behavioural symptoms. While diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has demonstrated some sensitivity to changes in white matter following mTBI, recent studies have suggested that more complex geometric models of diffusion, including the Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) model, may be more sensitive and specific. Here we evaluate microstructural changes in white matter following mTBI using DTI and NODDI in a mouse model and compare the time course of these changes to behavioural impairment and r
