Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Intra-articular injection of IL-1RA group: In order to prepare IL-1RA, 50 ml of venous blood is taken from the patient using the Orthokine syringe (manufacturer country: Germany, the manufacturer: orthokine) containing glass beads coated with CrSO4. Then, to ensure complete mixing and maximal contact of beads and blood, the syringe is rotated gently and stored immediately at 37 ° C and transferred to an Orthogen lab within 24 hours in a deignated incubator. In the laboratory, a blood sample is tested for hepatitis A, B and HIV, and if any of the tests are positive, the test is repeated with a new blood sample. If the test is re-affirmed positive, the patient is excluded from the study. In the event of negative test results, the products of orthokine (IL-1RA) are prepared by the laboratory and returned to the hospital in 2-14 ml vials at -20 ° C within 14-21 days. The injection regime in Orthokine (IL-1RA) group consists of 6 injections, on days 0, 3, 7, 10, 14 and 21 days after the first injection, and is done by physician A.
