      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The selection of participants will be done randomly in a 1:1 ratio to receive either exosome treatment or standard treatment alone, using computer-generated random blocks with R software, Blinding description: In this study, double blinding is performed by ensuring that neither the infants' parents nor the medical staff and outcome assessors are aware of the type of treatment administered (exosome or standard treatment), thereby preventing bias.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Bronchopulmonary dysplasia.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this group, premature infants with moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia will be enrolled after obtaining parental consent. This study will use exosomes produced by the Middle East Gene and cell Therapy Company. Collection of human umbilical cord samples will be carried out by obtaining fresh umbilical cords from healthy, term pregnancies, ensuring that informed consent and approval from the ethics committee have been obtained. Processing of these samples will be done within six hours after collection to preserve the integrity of the exosomes. The dose of exosomes is considered to be 10 × 10^8 particles per kilogram of body weight. The administration method is via intratracheal injection through a laryngeal mask over a period of 3 minutes. The number of treatment sessions is twice a week for four weeks. The maximum volume of fluid used will be 5 cc per kilogram of weight to prevent side effects caused by reduced respiratory levels. At the same time, this group will receive standard supportive treatments related to BPD. Intervention 2: Control group: This group will receive routine ward treatment, with the routine treatment protocol similar to the exosome treatment group. At the same time, this group will receive standard supportive treatments related to BPD.</i_freetext>
