IQR, Interquartile range. Kruskal Wallis test was performed to compare the differences between the three groups, if there were significant differences, the Mann Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparison. Letters are used to indicate the comparison results between the groups. The same letter indicates that the difference is not statistically significant, while different letters indicate that the difference is statistically significant, a>b. Significant at p <0.05
