ABSTRACT

This article has been retracted at the request of the journal Editorial Office. The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Chinese Journal of Arteriosclerosis 2014, 4, 362–366. Article id 1007-3949 (2014) 22-04-0362-05. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents an abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
