Journal of Healthcare Engineering has retracted the article titled “Cervical Spondylopathy and Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation Coexist in Free Radical Metabolism and Focus Separation in the Body” [1] due to concerns that the peer review process has been compromised.

Following an investigation conducted by the Hindawi Research Integrity team [2], significant concerns were identified with the peer reviewers assigned to this article; the investigation has concluded that the peer review process was compromised. We therefore can no longer trust the peer review process, and the article is being retracted with the agreement of the Chief Editor.
