S1	570 ± 76^b	641 ± 70^b	3.456 ± 0.25^b	355 ± 26^a	392 ± 15^a	5.86 ± 0.05^a
S2	553 ± 163^b	598 ± 158^b	3.76 ± 0.974^b	288 ± 29^ab	344 ± 61^ab	4.603 ± 0.49^a
S3	656 ± 128^b	672 ± 128^b	6.771 ± 0.046^a	325 ± 18^ab	361 ± 11^ab	5.67 ± 0.088^a
S4	718 ± 375^a	741 ± 362^a	6.649 ± 1.142^a	249 ± 80^b	264 ± 83^b	4.255 ± 1.863^a

The results are average ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different superscript letters in a column indicate statistical significant difference (p < 0.05) in the least significant difference test. S1, no obvious deterioration; S2, mild deterioration; S3, moderate deterioration; S4, severe deterioration
