Study on the mechanical properties of prefabricated assembled cover arch reinforcements in tunnels.

The prefabricated assembled cover arch reinforcement method offers rapid construction and high quality, effectively addressing the challenges of cast-in-place cover arch reinforcement used in tunnel linings in mountainous areas of China. This study investigated the mechanical performance of prefabricated assembled arches in tunnels through model tests and numerical simulations. The results indicate that joint opening and deflection, as well as their change rates, increase with eccentric distance.

[Retracted] MicroRNA‑128 suppresses cell growth and metastasis in colorectal carcinoma by targeting IRS1.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that certain of the western blotting data shown in Figs. 5D and 6 bore unexpected similarities to data appearing in different form in other articles by different authors. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published elsewhere, or were already under consideration for publication, prior to its submission to , the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal.

MicroRNA-128 suppresses cell growth and metastasis in colorectal carcinoma by targeting IRS1.

Evidence has shown that microRNAs play important roles in tumor development, progression, and metastasis. miR-128 has been reported to be deregulated in different tumor types, whereas the function of miR-128 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) largely remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance, biological effects and underlying mechanisms of miR-128 in CRC using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting.
