| 1. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used at different time points between the groups, and the covariance of the measured values at different time points met the H-type hypothesis without correction. The results of multivariate analysis of variants of Pillai’s Trace were not satisfied with the H-type hypothesis. 2. Comparison of differences at the same time point between groups was performed by independent sample t test, represented by (Mean±SD). | ||||
