  1. Data were presented as mean ± SD, or number (%). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA test (with the independent two-sample Student’s t test for post hoc testing) or Fisher’s exact test (with the Mann-Whitney U test for post hoc testing), as appropriate. *Means P < 0.017, compared to group TPVB; #P < 0.017, compared to group LAI
