Retraction
Following correspondence from a concerned reader, an inquiry was initiated into the novelty of results reported in the article entitled "Quantification of mitochondrial DNA with the A1555G mutation in deaf patients using real time-amplification refractory mutation system-quantitative PCR," which appeared online December 3, 2009 in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics as publish-ahead-of-print (doi: 10.2353/jmoldx.2010.090065). It was determined that four tables present in the JMD article had been previously published in the Chinese language journal National Medical Journal of China. After editorial communication with the corresponding author, Dr. Qi-shui, the Editors determined that the data represented redundant publication. The article is therefore being retracted from The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics by the American Society for Investigative Pathology and the Association for Molecular Pathology (the Publishers). All authors have been notified of this decision.

Retraction
The corresponding author submitted this article [1] to Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research although this article had been accepted and previously published by Cancer Biotherapy & Radiopharmaceuticals [2]. The article was also received and subsequently accepted and published by Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids [3]. Since it has been brought to the attention of all authors that duplicate submission and publication have taken place the decision has been made to retract the article published in Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research. The authors are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused to the editorial staff and readers.

The Editors of the Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research are retracting the paper "Niemann-Pick type C1 protein influences the delivery of cholesterol to the SREBP:SCAP complex". Yong-Jun Guo, Wei-Hua Li, Rong Wu, Qiang Xie, Zu-Huang Zhang, Lian-Qun Cui. Braz J Med Biol Res 2008; 41: 26-33 because of plagiarism. The person responsible, Y.J. Guo, Department of Cardiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Xiamen, China, has admitted this breach of ethics, has stated that the other authors were not aware of the plagiarism, and sends his sincere apologies to all involved. The original work was published in an Honour Thesis by Julie Wood of the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

Notzon's journal was alerted to such a case by Déjà vu. A group in China had, by Déjà vu's estimate, copied more than 95% of a paper on breast cancer first published in 2003 in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics. The Chinese group changed the focus from breast cancer to nasopharyngeal cancer, which is much more common in those of Asian ancestry, and reported data from their own patients. The lead author of the original paper, Odilia Popanda of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, notes that she was rather miffed that the Chinese work, published in 2005, appeared in a higher profile journal, Clinical Cancer Research.

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).
Reason: The author has plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Int. J. Math., 19 (2008) 1247–1268, doi:10.1142/S0129167X08005114. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Separately, another netter, ASH, reported that an article published in New England Journal of Medicine has been subsequently published in Chinese journals by the same author. It has been used as an example of misconduct by NEJM's associate editor in his seminars.
