the effects of smoking tobacco Tobacco/Nicotine Diagram with summarized effects of

250,251,252 UA induced inflammation and relative mechanism Uric acid signaling triggers the activation of several transcription factors, such as NF-B or AP-1, through the activation of MAPK p38 and ERK pathways, resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the conditions of hyperuricemia

Imputation is justified in these analyses on two grounds: first, it is clear from the figures provided that linear imputation fits the e-cigarette use data reasonably well (i.e., overlapping confidence estimates for survey-measured e-cigarette use prevalence and the linear interpolation line), and second because observed associations between decreased smoking prevalence and increased e-cigarette use remain consistent in sensitivity tests excluding the linearly-imputed e-cigarette prevalence

These limitations should be addressed in future studies to provide a more uniform picture about the effects of tobacco use and neurocognitive function in schizophrenia
