Table 2.

Comparison of the changes in white blood cell count among the three groups (×10⁹/L, $\bar{x}$ ± s).

Groups	1 d before	Day 5	Day 8	Day 11	Day 14	Day 21	Day 28
Conventional (n = 37)	7.37 ± 2.54	6.52 ± 2.6^a	5.97 ± 2.10^a	5.51 ± 2.34^a	5.07 ± 2.41^a	6.18 ± 2.23^a	6.46 ± 2.12^a
TCM herb (n = 35)	7.56 ± 2.91	6.35 ± 2.46^a	6.48 ± 2.58^a	5.73 ± 2.21^a	6.63 ± 3.44^a,b	6.10 ± 2.47^a	5.97 ± 2.74^a
TEAS (n = 42)	7.32 ± 2.63	6.57 ± 1.91^a	7.07 ± 2.11^a,b	6.32 ± 2.41^a	6.14 ± 1.51^a,b	6.52 ± 1.74^a	6.45 ± 2.40^a

Values are presented as mean (SD). One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the white blood cells among the three groups. ^aCompared with the group before chemotherapy, P < 0.05. ^bCompared with the conventional group at the same time point, P < 0.05. ^cCompared with the TCM herb group at the same time point, P < 0.05.
