Abstract

At the request of the Journal Editor(s) the following article has been retracted.
Zhang J, Zheng Q, Lu H, Jin F, Li Y, Bi F, Xu J (2019) Notoginsenoside R1 protects human keratinocytes HaCaT from LPS-induced inflammatory injury by downregulation of Myd88. International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology 33: 1-10. DOI: 10.1177/2058738419857550.
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.
