[Corrigendum] Puerarin alleviates the ototoxicity of gentamicin by inhibiting the mitochondria‑dependent apoptosis pathway

Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, concerning the TUNEL assay data shown in Fig. 5A on p. 6, the images shown for the H₂O₂ and PU+H₂O₂ groups were remarkably similar, suggesting that these data had been derived from the same original source where the results of differently performed experiments were intended to have been portrayed. After having re‑examined their original data, the authors have realized that an unintentional error was made during the assembly of the images in Fig. 5A; specifically, the representative images for the H₂O₂ and PU+H₂O₂ groups were inadvertently duplicated. A revised version of Fig. 5, now showing the correct data for the H₂O₂ group in Fig. 5A, is shown on the next page. Note that the error made in assembling the data in Fig. 5 did not significantly affect either the results or the conclusions reported in this paper. All the authors agree with the publication of this Corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of <i>Molecular Medicine Reports</i> for allowing them the opportunity to publish this; moreover, they apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
