Abstract
At the request of the Journal Editor(s) the following article has been retracted.
Zhou L, Zhang J, Wang C, Sun Q (2017) Tanshinone inhibits neuronal cell apoptosis and inflammatory response in cerebral infarction rat model. International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology 30(2) 123-129. DOI: 10.1177/0394632017703274.
Significant similarities between this paper and a number of other papers have been identified, as well as indication of image and data manipulation suggestive of the use of a “paper mill”. These papers share common structures and wording yet do not share any common authors.
The authors did not provide a sufficient response or evidence to refute these claims. As a result, the scientific accuracy of this paper is not reliable.
Adhering to the international guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics, the Journal has determined these are grounds for retraction.
