The Editor and Publisher of Journal of Inflammation Research wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised regarding the duplication of several images from Figures 9–11. Specifically,
- Figure 9E, HO-1, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 10B, p-JNK, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham.
- Figure 9E, HO-1, Striatum, Estazolam + MCAO appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11A, p-NFκB, Striatum, Vehicle + MCAO.
- Figure 9E, HO-1, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11A, p-NFκB, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham.
- Figure 9E, HO-1, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham.
- Figure 10B, p-JNK, Cortex, Vehicle + Sham appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Cortex, Vehicle + Sham.
- Figure 10B, p-JNK, Cortex, Vehicle + MCAO appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Cortex, Vehicle + MCAO.
- Figure 10B, p-JNK, Striatum, Leucovorin + MCAO appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Striatum, Vehicle + MCAO.
- Figure 11A, p-NFκB, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Striatum, Vehicle + Sham.
- Figure 11A, p-NFκB, Cortex, Estazolam + MCAO appears to have been duplicated with the same image for Figure 11B, TNF-α, Cortex, Estazolam + MCAO.
The authors responded to our queries but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the duplicated images. The Editor requested for the article to be retracted and the authors were notified of this.
Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.
