论文信息

2018年8月20日，郑州大学第一附属医院口腔科的Jing Wang（第一作者&通讯作者音译王静）在Journal of Cellular Biochemistry（中科院三区 IF=3）期刊上在线发表题为"Forkhead box p3 controls progression of oral lichen planus by regulating microRNA-146a"(叉头盒p3通过调控microRNA-146a控制口腔扁平苔藓的进展)论文。

本研究得到了河南省医学科技计划项目（项目编号：201602057）的资助。

质疑信息

图2E与多篇无关论文存在重叠面板。

Fig 2E. " Cell apoptosis was measured by the flow cytometry assay".

Panels are color-coded to show earlier appearances in papers by otherwise-unrelated authors. Blue and purple: compare with Fig2G from Li et al (2018), and Fig 3A from Long et al (2017).

Scarlet: See e.g. Fig 2E of Zhang et al (2017)

图3D与多篇无关论文存在重叠面板。

Fig 3D. "Cell apoptosis was measured by the flow cytometry assay". Again, color-coded.

Versions of the teal and turquoise-marked panels appear in Fig 1F of Yu & Chai (2017) (other sightings linked in that thread).

Brown: see Figs 2G from Li et al (2018), and 3A from Long et al (2017), from the previous comment.

Blue-grey moose portrait: Fig 4B from Chang et al (2018), "Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometric analysis in TPC-1 and BCPAP cells". A version of the brown panel is there too.

图2A存在一处重叠面板。

Fig 5A ("Control group, peripheral blood from healthy participates; OLP group, peripheral blood from patients with OLP") and 5G ("The frequency of Treg cells was detected by flow cytometry").

Blue-green "Control" panel was of course "Inhibitor Control" in 3D. Dark grey refers to Fig 2(a) of Zhang (2019).

Figure 2(a) also includes the bright pink panel in 5G, which has already been encountered in 3A from Long et al (2017), in earlier comments.

Light purple (FOXp3 siRNA) was also in 2G of Gao et al (2017) and Fig 2E of Zhang et al (2017).

Bright purple (FOXp3 + mimic control) was also in Fig 2C from Li et al (2018) and 3A from Fan et al (2017).

撤稿原因

本文已于2025年4月23日被撤回：上述文章于2018年8月20日在线发表于Wiley在线图书馆（wileyonlinelibrary.com），现经期刊主编Christian Behl与Wiley Periodicals LLC协商一致后撤回。此次撤稿是由于第三方提出了疑虑。经查，图2E、图3D和图5A中的图像元素此前已由不同作者在不同的科学背景下发表过。编辑部邀请作者就这些疑虑发表评论，但未收到回复。因此，鉴于编辑们对文章中呈现的所有数据的完整性和可靠性失去了信心，并认为其结论无效，该文章被撤回。作者已获悉撤稿事宜。
