This article has been retracted: There is internal duplication in Figures 2C and 4C. The same image was found to be duplicated in four other papers: Figures 4 and 7 from [1], Figure 3C, 3D [2], Figure 4C from [3]; and Figures 3B and 6B from [4].
Figure 4A duplicates Figure 5A from [5] and Figure 3G from [6]. The authors acknowledged the misuse of the images. The Scientific Integrity Committee of Xyangui Hospital investigated the paper and agreed with the retraction. As a result, the Editorial decision was made to retract this paper. All authors agreed with the decision.
