Erratum: Protective effects of muscone on traumatic spinal cord injury in rats

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2022;10(12):685.

This article (1) titled “Protective effects of muscone on traumatic spinal cord injury in rats” (doi: 10.21037/atm-22-2672) unfortunately contains errors in JenyFigures 12,13. Some images in JenyFigures 12,13 were improperly used and duplicated, and the corrections were made according to the original images of the experiment. The correct JenyFigures 12,13 are presented below.

Correct Figure 12:

Figure 12 The number of astrocytes increased, as detected by Nissl staining in the NS group and MP group at different time points. Some contracted neurons and proliferation of astrocytes were obvious in 4 weeks. The proliferation of astrocytes was less in the MO2 group than other groups at different time points. Neuronal injury and satellite phenomenon in the MO1, MO3, and MP groups was obvious between the NS group and MO2 group in 4 weeks. Spinal dorsal horn after SCI by Nissl staining. NS, normal saline; MO, muscone; MP, methylprednisolone; SCI, spinal cord injury.

Correct Figure 13:

Figure 13 The number of astrocytes increased, as detected by Nissl staining, shrunken neurons in the NS group and MP group at different time points. Some contracted neurons and proliferation of astrocytes were obvious in 4 weeks. At the same time point, the number of neurons in the MOx groups was high, with structural integrity. The neurons were more in number and normal in structure, and the proliferation of astrocytes was less in the MO2 group. Spinal dorsal horn after SCI by Nissl staining. NS, normal saline; MO, muscone; MP, methylprednisolone; SCI, spinal cord injury.

The authors regretted the errors and confirmed that these corrections did not significantly impact the overall findings and conclusions of the paper.
