When alerted to possible image manipulation and duplication in Figures 6, 7, 11 and 12, the Editorial Office and Editor in Chief began an investigation consistent with guidelines from the Committee for Publication Ethics. The authors have confirmed that the images were manipulated and noted that the raw data are no longer available to review any other elements of the study. Since further verification or reproduction of the data are not possible, the conclusions of the article are no longer reliable. As a result, the authors and the Editor in Chief have concluded that the article must be retracted.
