国家自然科学基金委：

　　甘肃农业大学动物医学院魏彦明 纪鹏 华永丽等人在国自然基金申请文章发
表中多次一图两用，两篇文章共享完全相同的图片，被pubpeer 曝光，但仍然坚
持惯用技俩，多次如法炮制，多次骗取国家自然科学基金，现将详情曝光如下，
请基金委查处！

The panels in Figure 3 of this paper look very similar to the panels 
in Figure 1 in another paper by the same research group. Some of the 
panels might represent treatment of mice with the same concoction of 
"Chinese angelica", but other panels appear to represent different 
treatments.

That other paper is Yongli Hua et al., Journal of Ethnopharmacology 
151 (2014) 1090–1099, DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2013.12.011 - see 
https://pubpeer.com/publications/4A43AE18FAC805965DDC3A8895130D. The 
Hua et al. paper was accepted on December 6, 2013, while this Ji et al. 
paper was submitted on December 19, 2013, so after acceptance of the 
Hua paper.

From the description of the mouse experiments in both papers it seems 
that these were different experiments. Hua paper: Mice kept at 25 
degrees C, 40% relative humidity, 6 groups of 10 mice each. Ji paper: 
Mice kept at 22 degrees C, 50% relative humidity, 7 groups of 7 mice 
each.

Could the authors comment on the following concerns, please?

If two different sets of mice were used, how can the liver photos of 
the model and control group look so identical?
How can the liver sections of mice treated with differently prepared 
Chinese angelica look so similar? For example, the liver marked in 
yellow represents the mouse treated with the soil preparation in the 
Ji paper, but also the charred preparation in the Hua paper. Similarly, 
the aqua live represents unprocessed preparation in the Ji paper and 
soil prep in the Hua paper.
Did the authors consider any issues with copyright and/or lack of 
novelty by publishing the same study or photos twice?
