The following article from Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, “Epidemiological evaluation of intraoperative antibiosis as a protective agent against endophthalmitis after cataract surgery” by F. Krummenauer, S. Kurz and H.B. Dick, published online on July 11 2006 inWiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor and Publisher. The retraction has been agreed due to a significant overlap between the content of this article and another entitled “Epidemiological and health economical evaluation of intraoperative antibiosis as a protective agent against endophthalmitis after cataract surgery”, by F.

Previous research from our group has demonstrated arsenic trioxide eluting stents significantly reduced neointimal area and thickness compared with bare metal stents. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects of arsenic trioxide in vitro and arsenic trioxide eluting stents in a porcine coronary model have been explored. Sixty-five pigs underwent placement of 139 oversized stents in the coronary arteries with histologic analysis, endothelial function analysis, and immunohistochemical and western blot analyses. Arsenic trioxide eluting stents effectively inhibited local inflammatory reactions, while no significant difference in endothelialization and endothelial function between arsenic trioxide eluting stents and bare metal stents was observed. Arsenic trioxide eluting stents favorably modulate neointimal formation due to less augmentation of early inflammatory reactions, and quick endothelialization of the stent surface, which might contribute to long-term safety and efficacy of drug eluting stents.

Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells: A New Target for Cancer Therapy.

Biomed Res Int. 2013; 2013: 916819
Zhan Q, Wang C, Ngai S

Ovarian cancer is a highly lethal disease among all gynecologic malignancies and is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Although the standard combination of surgery and chemotherapy was initially effective in patients with ovarian cancer, disease relapse commonly occurred due to the generation of chemoresistance. It has been reported that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in drug resistance and cancer recurrence. Over the past decades, increasing studies have been done to identify CSCs from human ovarian cancer cells. The present paper will summarize different investigations on ovarian CSCs, including isolation, mechanisms of chemoresistance, and therapeutic approaches. Although there are still numerous challenges to translate basic research to clinical applications, understanding the molecular details of CSCs is essential for developing effective strategies to prevent ovarian cancer and its recurrence.
