[Retracted] Long noncoding RNA UCID sponges miR‑152‑3p to promote colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion via the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway.

Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that there appeared to be matching data panels comparing between the Transwell invasion and migration assays shown in Figs. 2C and 5C; moreover, one of the data panels shown in Fig. 2D had previously appeared in a paper written largely by different authors (the author 'T‑D Shan' was held in common) at different research institutes in the journal in 2016 [Shan T‑D, Xu, J‑H, Yu T, Li J‑Y, Zhao L‑N, Ouyang H, Luo S, Lu X‑J, Huang C‑Z, Lan Q‑S : Knockdown of linc‑POU3F3 suppresses the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration resistance of colorectal cancer.

Long noncoding RNA UCID sponges miR‑152‑3p to promote colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion via the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway.

Research has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of lnc‑UCID (lncRNA upregulating CDK6 by interacting with DHX9) in CRC remains largely unknown. In the present study, analyses revealed that lnc‑UCID was markedly upregulated in CRC compared with that in normal specimens.

Concordance Study Between IBM Watson for Oncology and Clinical Practice for Patients with Cancer in China.

Background: IBM Watson for Oncology (WFO), which can use natural language processing to evaluate data in structured and unstructured formats, has begun to be used in China. It provides physicians with evidence-based treatment options and ranks them in three categories for treatment decision support. This study was designed to examine the concordance between the treatment recommendation proposed by WFO and actual clinical decisions by oncologists in our cancer center, which would reflect the differences of cancer treatment between China and the U.

A novel elastic liposome for skin delivery of papain and its application on hypertrophic scar.

This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of papain elastic liposomes (PEL) on hypertrophic scar through topical application. PEL were prepared using the reverse-phase evaporation method and optimized by response surface methodology. The transdermal absorption of optimized PEL was tested by vertical Franz diffusion cells in vitro.

Different antitumor immunity roles of cytokine activated T lymphocytes from naive murine splenocytes and from dendritic cells-based vaccine primed splenocytes: implications for adoptive immunotherapy.

Aim: The aim of the study is to explore the antitumor capacity of effector cells generated from murine splenocytes with sequential addition of a cocktail of cytokines and the possible contribution of dendritic cells to the antitumor capacity of these effector cells.

Methods And Results: Interferon-gamma, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, anti-CD3 mAb and IL-2 were used to activate murine splenocytes either from naive mice (termed cytokine activated T cells, CAT) or from DC based vaccine primed mice (termed specific effector T cells, SET). The antitumor roles of SET and CAT were analyzed in murine L615 T lymphocytic leukemia.
