Retraction Note: Upregulated MiR-9-5p Protects Against Inflammatory Response in Rats with Deep Vein Thrombosis via Inhibition of NF-κB p50

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the western blot data in the figures and animal ethics. Specifically:

Western blot bands appear highly similar to those in a number of papers from other authors.

The western blot images have smooth, empty backgrounds, so the integrity of the gels cannot be confirmed.

No ethics approval number is provided for the animal experiments.

According to the Materials and methods, painful procedures were performed on rats without anesthesia.

The authors have not provided the full western blot gel images and evidence of ethics approval upon the journal’s request. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.

None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
