J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis. 2019 Mar;28(3):821-829. doi: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2018.11.028. Epub 2018 Dec 14.

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors as it contains erroneous experimental results, pictures, discussions and conclusions related to IL-1β and TNF-α. The authors were unable to repeat the experimental results of IL-1β and TNF-α in the subsequent 2 repeated experiments. We apologise and inform the readers of the journal that the conclusions of the manuscript are invalid.

Keywords: Intracerebral hemorrhage; bimodal distribution; cell death; inflammatory response; nuclear factor-kappaB.
