      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In order to allocate the patients randomly into two groups of treatment and control, at first 7 blocks of 4 with C and T letters (The letters indicate the intervention and control groups) are created in each 2 patients are belonged to the intervention group and 2 patients are belonged to the control group). Then the blocks are randomly selected and arranged to obtain a sequential combination of 28 letters. Each letter will be placed in a sealed packet according to the obtained sequence, Blinding description: 28 patients over 18 years of age suffering from MDS are choose considering to inclusion criteria (patients who based on IPSS SCORE, be in high risk and intermediate group) in hematologic oncology clinic in first visit by oncologist. After filling the testimonial, the patients are divided to 2 control and treatment group in 1 to 1 form based on demographic information. The study will be done in random double blind form and neither patients nor investigator know the kind of consuming drug.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group (14 patients): This group will receive β-D-Mannuronic acid orally 1500 mg/day (three oral 500 mg tablets/day) which is produced from the decomposition of Alginate powder (a safe and natural substance used in food and pharmaceutical industries) for 12 weeks. It should be mentioned that Alginate powder is purchased from Sigma Corporation of U.S.A and β-D-Mannuronic acid is produced from it's decomposition in central laboratory of immunology department at School of Public Health and Institute of Health Research affiliated by Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Intervention 2: Control group (14 patients): will receive placebo with conventional drugs orally for 12 weeks.</i_freetext>
