Erratum to effect of growth hormone on thin endometrium via intrauterine infusion

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2021;9:1325.

This article (1) titled “Effect of growth hormone on thin endometrium via intrauterine infusion” (doi: 10.21037/atm-21-3583) unfortunately contains errors. Two images (Figure 2B,2C) of Figure 2 representing the expression of endometrial cytokeratin of the Model group and Subcutaneous group were duplicated accidentally. This error occurred due to the large number of experimental photographs taken, leading to the incorrect images being pasted and resulting in the repetition of Figure 2B,2C.

Figure 2 of the original article:

The correct version of Figure 2, containing the legend, is shown below.

Figure 2 Expression of endometrial cytokeratin and vimentin in the different groups (×400). Compared with the model group, ^bP<0.01. (A-D) IHC results of cytokeratin in each group. Cytokeratin is mainly found in rat endometrial secretory glandular epithelial cells and the luminal epithelial cytoplasm and is an important protein for endometrial epithelial cell proliferation and cell anabolism (scale bar 1:50). (E-H) IHC results of vimentin in each group. Vimentin is mainly expressed in the rat endometrial mesenchymal cytoplasm and is a marker protein for endometrial stromal cell proliferation and cell anabolism (scale bar 1:50). (I) Negative control (scale bar 1:50). (J,K) Comparison of vimentin and cytokeratin MOD values in each group. IHC, immunohistochemical; MOD, mean optical density; GH, growth hormone.

The authors confirm the error is accidental and does not affect the accuracy of the results or the conclusions of the article.
