Retraction Note: BMC Gastroenterology (2020) 20:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-019-1130-x

The Editor has retracted this article because Figs. 2 and 3 contain image panels that appear in figures published in another article [1], as detailed below:

• Figure 2 (SI panel) is present in [1] as Fig. 3a (panel SFS at 30 min);

• Figure 3 (panel TUNEL WAT) is present in [1] as Fig. 4b [panel SFS PCNA (1 day)];

• Figure 3 (panel PCNA WAT) is present in [1] as Fig. 4b [panel TPIPSS TUNEL (1 day)];

• Figure 3 (panel PCNA SAT) is present in [1] as Fig. 4b [panel SFS TUNEL (1 day)];

• Figure 3 (panel PCNA SATa) is present in [1] as Fig. 4b [panel TPIPSS PCNA (1 day)].

The Editor therefore considers the data reported in this article to be unreliable.
