Retraction notice to: Effect of transplantation of BMMSCs on pathological change of gastric precancerous lesions of rats Asian Pac J Trop Med 8(12) (2015) 1060–1063 (S1995764515001911) (10.1016/j.apjtm.2015.11.006))

ABSTRACT

This article has been retracted at the request of first author, corresponding author and the editor-in-chief of the journal. The authors have plagiarized some parts of the figures and results which are similar to Yuan Gong's doctoral dissertation ‘Experimental study on the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the model of gastric precancerous lesion’ published in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (http//www.cnki.net). 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.
