The above article, published online on 19 December 2018 in Wiley Online Library (https//doi.org/10.1002/jcp.27980), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Gregg Fields, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation based on allegations raised by a third party. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Thus, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be invalid.Retraction "Targeting of SPP1 by microRNA-340 inhibits gastric cancer cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition through inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway," by Su-Zhen Song, Sen Lin, Jia-Ning Liu, Ming-Bao Zhang, Ya-Ting Du, Dong-Dong Zhang, Wei-Hua Xu, Hong-Bo Wang, J Cell Physiol. 2019; 18587-18601 The above article, published online on 05 April 2019 in Wiley Online Library (https//onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jcp.28497), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Gregg Fields, and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

We investigate the fired bullets of five Chinese Norinco QSZ-92 9 × 19 mm pistols over 3000 shots. The first 50 fired bullets are recovered, whereas every 50th fired bullet is recovered from the 51st to 3000th round. As such, 109 bullets are available for each pistol, and totally 545 bullets are introduced into the Evofinder® system. A large background database comprising 3000 bullets fired from 1000 registered QSZ92 9 × 19 mm pistols is used as interference. Both on-screen analysis and automatic comparison are performed. The first fired bullets from the five pistols are separately correlated with the database. The results show that although the similarity for known match bullets changes slightly as the shot number increases, the land-engraved area (LEA), groove-engraved area (GEA), and slippage marks can be reproducibly transferred to the fired bullets in consecutive shots. The Evofinder system ranks all known match bullets on the top of the correlation result with the combination of LEA, GEA, and slippage marks.Retraction "LncRNA LINC00880 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis by targeting CACNG5 through the MAPK signaling pathway in spinal cord ependymoma," by Dong-Mei Wu, Yong-Jian Wang, Xin-Rui Han, Xin Wen, Shan Wang, Min Shen, Shao-Hua Fan, Juan Zhuang, Zi-Feng Zhang, Qun Shan, Meng-Qiu Li, Bin Hu, Chun-Hui Sun, Jun Lu, Yuan-Lin Zheng, J Cell
