rate = the number of cases showing complete effective ÷ total number of cases. rate = (the number of cases showing complete effective + the number of cases showing significant effective) ÷ total number of cases × 100% [9]. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of the three groups. was considered significant different. higher versus group A () and group C (). higher versus group C ().
