Mitigating intubation stress, mucosa injury, and inflammatory response in nasogastric tube intubation via suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway by engineering hydration lubrication coating

Each experiment was repeated at least 3 times. Statistical analysis was performed by using Student’s t-test for one-tailed distributions withan unequal variance where applicable.

For comparisons between two or more groups, analysis of variance was used. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to measure indicators at different time points. Significance was assigned to p < 0.05.
