          Abstract

          This article has been retracted by Hindawi following an investigation undertaken by the publisher [1]. This investigation has uncovered evidence of one or more of the following indicators of systematic manipulation of the publication process: Discrepancies in scope Discrepancies in the description of the research reported Discrepancies between the availability of data and the research described Inappropriate citations Incoherent, meaningless and/or irrelevant content included in the article Peer-review manipulation The presence of these indicators undermines our confidence in the integrity of the article's content and we cannot, therefore, vouch for its reliability. Please note that this notice is intended solely to alert readers that the content of this article is unreliable. We have not investigated whether authors were aware of or involved in the systematic manipulation of the publication process. In addition, our investigation has also shown that one or more of the following human-subject reporting requirements has not been met in this article: ethical approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) committee or equivalent, patient/participant consent to participate, and/or agreement to publish patient/participant details (where relevant). Wiley and Hindawi regrets that the usual quality checks did not identify these issues before publication and have since put additional measures in place to safeguard research integrity. We wish to credit our own Research Integrity and Research Publishing teams and anonymous and named external researchers and research integrity experts for contributing to this investigation. The corresponding author, as the representative of all authors, has been given the opportunity to register their agreement or disagreement to this retraction. We have kept a record of any response received.

          Prognostic Evaluation of Vitrectomy Assisted by Lucentis in Diabetic Retinopathy and Neovascular Glaucoma

          For verifying the prognosis of Lucentis-assisted vitrectomy (PPV) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG), a retrospective analysis of DR and NVG patients who were admitted to our hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 was conducted. According to the treatment protocol, subjects who had PPV intervention were in the control group (CG; n  = 38) and those receiving Lucentis adjunctive PPV were included in the intervention group (RG; n  = 40). The indicators between groups were listed: treatment success rate, postoperative complication rate, surgical outcome indicators, BCVA, intraocular pressure (IOP) change, foveal thickness, and VEGF level in aqueous humor. Indicators in RG were obviously higher than in CG, such as treatment success rate and surgical outcome indicators. Conversely, lower postoperative complication rate, postoperative BCVA, IOP, retinal fovea thickness, and VEGF level in aqueous humor were found in RG than in CG. Therefore, the study reached the following conclusions about vitrectomy assisted by Lucentis: (1) it effectively increases the success rate of treatment, decreases postoperative complications as well as surgical risks, and improves patients' vision; (2) it promotes the recovery of IOP, reduces macular edema and VEGF levels in aqueous humor, and inhibits the neonatal formation of blood vessels. It is finally confirmed that Lucentis adjuvant PPV in the treatment of DR complicated with NVG is safe and feasible.
