Data in this paper also seems to appear in a different paper in the same journal. That other paper has signs of third-party involvement. Could this paper be part of the same gang? It has some of the hallmarks: Hospital affiliations and a manynumbers@163.com email address.

Two images in this paper also seem to appear in an unrelated paper.

While the earlier paper could be the source for the later paper, I do note that the label describing the magnification seems to be located just within the field of view of the image outlined in red in the later paper. If this is correct, that suggests that a common third-party may have been the original source.
