Background: Propolis based preparations have a wide range of applications in various specialties of dentistry. The aim of this clinical trial was to test the efficacy of propolis as a mouthwash in the reduction of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis (OM) in a single center. Materials and Methods: In this randomised, controlled study patients undergoing chemotherapy were included consecutively and randomised to an experimental group receiving propolis mouthwash (n = 20) and a control group receiving diluted water (n=20). Oral mucositis, erythema and eating and drink ability were assessed at baseline and after 3 and 7 days using the World Health Organization (WHO) scale and the oral mucositis assessment scale (OMAS). Results: There were significant differences in OM, wound and erythema in propolis group compared to placebo, but no significant difference in eating and drink ability. However, it was interesting that 65% of the patients in the propolis group were completely healed at day 7 of the trial. No significant adverse events were reported by the patients. Conclusions: This study found that oral care with propolis as mouthwash for patients undergoing chemotherapy is an effective intervention to improve oral health. Our findings shouldlencourage health practitioners to apply propolis mouth rinse for the oral care of patients under chemotherapy.

The properties of water soluble powder of propolis(WSP), made with different levels(0, 20, 40, 60, 80%) of ethanol extract of propolis(EEP) and hydrocolloid were investigated, along with the quality changes of its bread after 7 days' of storage at $30^{\circ}C$ The yield of WSP containing 40% EEP treated at $160^{\circ}C$ was the highest at 59.3% and the brown color of all the powders tended to be darkened with increasing EEP content. The turbidity of WSP treated at higher temperature was decreased in its aqueous solution (10%, w/w), and this was considered to be due to the presence of minute nonsoluble particles. Antioxidative activities determined by DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) were the lowest in WSP treated at $140^{\circ}C$, while those of the WSP samples prepared at 160 and $180^{\circ}C$ were as high as that of WSP containing more than 40% EEP, regardless of EEP concentration. The propolis breads with added WSP made at $160^{\circ}C$ were selected as the most desirable powder for subsequent study. Bread with WSP40 was the heaviest while the volume loss of WSP80 was the greast after baking. The moisture contents of the propolis bread were drastically decreased until 3 days' of storage, but it was thought that WSP might be ineffective for the prevention of moisture loss. The pH of breads without EEP was decreased after 3 days' of storage, while that of the WSP breads remained almost unchanged until 5 days' of storage. Total bacterial counts also exhibited decay levels during the storage. In conclusion, water soluble powder of propolis is useful as a natural antioxidative and antibacterial material in various types of food.

The objetives of this study are to set up optimum extraction temperature, time and organic solvent for propolis extraction, to investigate chemical properties, and to develop health foods from propolis preparation. In this study, ethanol and ultrasonic extracts method performed to optimum extraction temperature was at 60, $20^{\circ}C$, optimum extraction time was at 12, 4 hours and optimum extraction amount of solvent was at 20, 15 times of propolis weight. When various ethanol solutions were used, whereas flavonoid content was highest in 70, 80% aqueous ethanol, respectively. So the ultrasonic extracts method used gave better results than the ethanol extracts method in this work. Extraction of propolis with etanol and ultrasonic extracts method was performed by using the water and various concentrations of aqueous ethanol as solvent. Sensitivity of propolis samples to Staphylococcus aureus was investigated and the results were shown. Samples of water extract did not inhibit microbial growth, where as 50% aqueous ethanol extract the largest inhibitory zone for Staphylococcus aureus, then decreased inhibition with increasing ethanol concentrations.

국내에서 채집된 프로폴리스 추출물이 닭고기 분쇄육을 사용한 육제품에 나타내는 영향을 확인하기 위해 프로폴리스 추출물을 첨가하지 않은 닭고기 패티와 프로폴리스 추출물을 각각 0.1, 0.2, 0.4%를 첨가한 닭고기 패티의 육질 특성 및 저장성을 비교 분석하였다. 프로폴리스 추출물의 첨가 시 닭고기 패티의 지방과 회분이 증가했다. pH, 보수력, 가열감량, 조직특성에서 프로폴리스 추출물을 첨가한 처리구와 첨가하지 않은 처리구의 차이가 나타나지 않음으로 프로폴리스 추출물은 유화 안정성에 부정적인 영향을 주지 않았다. 관능평가 결과 프로폴리스 추출물 첨가량이 많아질수록 닭고기 패티의 전체 기호도가 떨어졌다. 프로폴리스 추출물을 첨가한 처리구와 첨가하지 않은 처리구의 육색과 TBARS 결과는 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, 저장일이 길어질수록 프로폴리스 추출물을 첨가한 처리구가 첨가하지 않은 처리구보다 pH, 총 미생물 수, 그리고 VBN 함량이 낮았다. 위 결과를 토대로 프로폴리스 추출물을 닭고기 패티에 첨가 시 유화 안정성을 해치지 않으며, 저장성을 향상시켰다. 이를 통해 프로폴리스 추출물이 닭고기 육제품에 첨가제로써 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만, 프로폴리스의 독특한 풍미로 인해 관능적 특성이 저하될 수 있으니 사용량을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 칸디다 알비칸스(C. albicans)에 대한 프로폴리스의 억제효과를 확인하고자 수행되었다. 프로폴리스는 양봉 꿀벌에서 채취하여 C. albicans는 $37^{\circ}C$에서 액체 배지에서 2시간 배양 하였다. 항균 활성검삼를 위해서 생리식염수 (PBS), 3% 차아염소산나트륨 (NaOCl에), 0.1% 클로로헥시딘 (CHX), 프로 폴리스 추출물 ($5{\mu}L/m{\ell}$, $10{\mu}L/m{\ell}$)에서 평가하였다. C. albicans는 3%의 NaOCl, 0.1% CHX, 프로 폴리스($5{\mu}L/m{\ell}$, $10{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$)에서 15, 14.5, 16, 17mm의 억제구간을 확인하였다. 항균활성을 확인하기 위하여 집락형성을 분석한 결과, 3%의 NaOCl, 0.1 % CHX, $5{\mu}L/m{\ell}$와 $10{\mu}L/m{\ell}$의 프로 폴리스가 7, 7, 5, 7 로그지수가 감소를 보였다. C. albicans서는 $10{\mu}L/m{\ell}$의 프로폴리스에서 유의하게 억제되는 결과를 보여주었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 프로폴리스는 구강 점막 질환에서 새로운 향균 약제가 될수 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Some natural products are able to inhibit radiation effects and exert an antitumor effect with fewer adverse reactions; however, their antitumor effects are less than those of widely-used synthetic drugs. Propolis is a natural material that has been attracting attention, and we extracted this material with water and investigated the effect of continuous propolis administration on radioactivity-induced reduction of hemocytes, in addition to the antioxidant and antitumor effects of propolis. Following a 1-week adjustment period, water-soluble propolis was administered intraperitoneally to male ICR mice at a dose of 100 mg/kg every other day for 2 weeks. Following administration, 2 Gy whole-body irradiation was performed and the counts of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes and monocytes in the peripheral blood were determined 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days after irradiation. These cells were considered since they are closely associated with immunity to radioactivity. In a second experiment, water-soluble propolis was similarly administered to the mice for 2 weeks after a 1-week adjustment period, and 2 Gy whole-body irradiation was performed. The antioxidant effects in hemocytes were then investigated using 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), a radical generator. In a third experiment, $1\;{\times}\;10^6$ Sarcoma-180 cells were inoculated into the right thigh of mice, which were divided into four groups: control, water-soluble propolis-treated, 6 Gy irradiated and water-soluble propolis-treated + 6 Gy irradiated groups, and changes in tumor size were measured for 20 days. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA for multiple groups. In the three experiments, administration of water-soluble propolis inhibited the reduction of hemocytes caused by whole-body irradiation, showed antioxidant effects against radioactivity, and inhibited tumor growth, respectively. In conclusion, our data suggest that the antioxidant effect of watersoluble propolis inhibits hemocyte reduction caused by whole-body irradiation and enhances immunological inhibition of tumor growth.
