Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. After an institutional investigation into the work of Dr. Jun Ren, University of Wyoming subsequently conducted an examination of other selected publications of Dr. Ren's under the direction of the HHS Office of Research Integrity. Based on the findings of this examination, the University of Wyoming recommended this article be retracted due to concerns regarding data irregularities inconsistent with published conclusions. Specifically, University of Wyoming found evidence of data irregularities and image reuse in Figure 2 that significantly affect the results and conclusions reported in the manuscript.
