Note. The linear pharmacokinetic characteristics of PK parameters were evaluated by power function model. The terminal elimination phase is linear, so AUC0-∞ with extrapolation area greater than 20% is also included in the model calculation. aAdopt Smith standard:  = 0.80 and  = 1.25 [21]. bAdopt Hummel standard:  = 0.5 and  = 2.0 [22]. Calculation of judgment interval: [1 + ln()/ln(r), 1 + ln()/ln(r)]. r = maximum dose/minimum dose.
