<body>
<p>The Editorial Board of the Journal of Reproduction and Infertility (JRI) has recently confirmed that the manuscript titled: &#x0201C;Correlation of Sperm Associated Antigen 11 (SPAG11) and its Isoforms with Varicocele in Rats&#x0201D;, written by Hong Tian et al, published in volume 13, issue 4, pp. 241&#x02013;247 has been published previously in Chinese. Therefore this paper is retracted, considering the fact that it is contrary to the journal&#x00027;s policy.</p>
<p>We regret the time that peer reviewers and others spent for evaluation of this paper and hope that there will be no repetition of this problems in the future.</p>
