      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: In this study, the expression level of HOTAIR and MEG3 genes as well as the flow cytometry of T Helper-1, T Helper-2, T Helper-17 and Treg cells before and after the intervention (daily consumption of lactocare probiotic and placebo) will be investigated, Randomization description: Random assignment of patients to two groups will be done by permuted block stratified randomization method. In this way, eligible referring patients are classified according to the age and gender in order of entry. Then, they are assigned to the desired group based on 2-blocks (consisting of two groups A and B) that are randomly selected from among all the possible states of permutations. These blocks were created using R software version 4.0.2, Blinding description: In this research, the double-blind method will be used. So that the participants, the person responsible for providing the drug or placebo and the person responsible for recording the results (laboratory expert) will not be aware of the intervention type. In this trial, the intervention group will receive lactocare probiotic and the control group will receive the placebo, and patients will not be informed to which group they have been assigned.</study_design>

Where to obtain:
To obtain patient information, please refer to Dr. Mehdi Atabaki, Ph.D. in Immunology at Bo Ali Zahedan Hospital. Address: Shariati St., Shohada Square, Bu Ali Hospital with zip code: 9816743111 Phone: +98 930 304 3900 Access to other information will be possible by requesting via email to atabaki80@gmail.com.

How to obtain:
Study information 6 months after the publication of all domestic and foreign articles and receiving complete information from researchers who intend to do research in this field, the information will be provided to them in time frames and according to the preservation of the law of copying and pasting.
