Effects of different forms of propolis on wound healing.

S. NoPropolis formExperimental modelMain resultsReferences

1Propolis ointmentSquare skin incisionAffect stimulating keratinocytes cell proliferation[30]
2Diabetic foot ulcerReduced ulcer area enhanced wound healing[31]
3Pulp woundMaintain low inflammation and microbial cell population stimulating restorative dentin[32]
4BurnStimulates the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans on the wound surface required for granulation, tissue growth and wound closure to accelerate the repair of burn tissue[33]
5Chronic woundTreatment of chronic wound infection caused by Proteus mirabilis[34]
6Cell CRL-7522Enhance the proliferation, activation and growth of skin cells[35]
7Rat skin woundSpeed up wound healing high inflammatory cell infiltration rate higher granulation tissue[36]

8Propolis extractTooth pulp woundDentin tubules are arranged more orderly as pulp capping agent[37]
9Skin woundStaphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis have inhibitory effects improve skin antibacterial effect[38]
10Damage caused by strikingContains fibroblasts and collagen a large number of mitotic cells stimulate cell proliferation and tissue repair[39]
11Wound (about 11 mm)Accelerate wound healing improve collagen deposition[40]

12Wound dressing containing propolisThird degree burn woundThe area of the burn was reduced no inflammation and edema[41]
13Back incisionFibroblast proliferation contributes to collagen deposition increased synthesis of natural hyaluronic acid[42]

14Propolis contains biocellulose membraneBack and neck traumaWound healing improved fibroblast and collagen production increased[43]
15Wound (about 6 mm)Tissue repair of contaminated wounds shorter time and better effect[44]
16Propolis and metal nanoparticles and biology medical thread combinationSurgically infected woundPromote cell migration and proliferation gives effective antibacterial power to surgical sutures[45]
