  1. Compared to healthy mice, ***P < 0.001, compared to ARP mice, ###P < 0.001, Rank-Sum test.
  2. DXM + GM enema alleviates pathological damage and decreases pathological grade of ARP mice.
  3. The rank sum test was used for the evaluation of pathological grade. The pathological grade of ARP mice was increased compared with healthy control group mice (***P < 0.001). DXM + GM enema alleviated pathological damage and reduced pathological grade of ARP mice (###P < 0.001).
