AI Article Synopsis

  • - The publisher and Editor in Chief have retracted four articles from 2016 to 2018 due to issues like image manipulation, lack of ethics approval, and data inconsistencies.
  • - One specific article, "The effects of MCA-MAO on cAMP pathway in rats with cerebral hemorrhage," was retracted after readers noted figure duplication and the absence of ethical approval, and the authors did not respond to inquiries.
  • - Another article, "Research on the role of GLP-2 in the central nervous system EPK signal transduction pathway of mice with vascular dementia," faced similar issues, leading to retraction due to overlapping figures and no ethical approval, with authors remaining unresponsive once again.
