J.-H. Xu, S.-J. Lu, P. Wu, L.-C. Kong, C. Ning, and H.Y. Li, "Molecular Mechanism Whereby Paraoxonase-2 Regulates Coagulation Activation Through Endothelial Tissue Factor in Rat Haemorrhagic Shock Model," International Wound Journal 17, no. 3 (2020): 735-741, https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.13329. The above article, published online on 23 February 2020, in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Professor Keith Harding; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. An Expression of Concern had previously been published to alert readers to concerns regarding the correct methodology to measure PON2 [https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.13614]. Following an investigation by the publisher, all parties have concluded that this article was accepted solely on the basis of a compromised peer review process. The editors have therefore decided to retract the article. The authors did not respond to our notice regarding the retraction.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
