Pre-1st: the value before the first treatment; post-1st: the value after the first treatment; pre-2nd: the value before the second treatment; post-2nd: the value after the second treatment; and DOC: degree of change. Values are mean ± standard deviation or P value. *Degree of change was calculated by 100% × (post-treatment value − pre-1st treatment value)/(pre-1st treatment value). †Repeated measured ANOVA was used to compare the values within the same group. ‡Paired t-test was used to compare the values between two groups. P < 0.05. |
