(1) All values are means ± sem. There was no difference between groups before surgery. (2) PN-values for the difference between study group and control group with respect to the time point were calculated as treatment × time interaction. PM-values for the difference between study group and control group with all the time points were calculated as treatment × time interaction. (3) compared with before surgery; compared with Day 1; compared with Day 3; compared with Day 7 (all of them adopt ANOVA and LSD post hoc test).
