The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
Figure 5h appears to overlap with Figure 4f in an article by different authors that was simultaneously under consideration with another journal [1].
Multiple figures, including Figures 2e, 3f and 5h appear to overlap with figures in a previously published article by different authors [2].
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this article. Hong Chen, Lu Xu, Shu Chen and Hao Hu disagree with this retraction. Zhi-li Shan did not respond to correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
