The concern of a surgeon dealing with the management of diabetic ulcers is to get the wound debrided and dressed until it granulates. After this stage a proper tissue cover with skin graft is among the options available to encourage the wounds to heal. A resurgence of interest and an increasing number of case reports on the use of honey on diabetic foot ulcers, reflect a growing awareness and a need for cost-effective therapies. Given honey's great potential as an alternative in wound dressing, this double-blinded randomized controlled study was designed to investigate the wound healing property and the granulation tissue promoting effect of honey, comparing the local Malaysian tualang honey with the well-established manuka honey in the management of patients with diabetic foot wounds. Thirty-four patients with Wagner stage II or III diabetic foot ulcers were enrolled in the study, randomized into 2 groups of seventeen patients, treated with either manuka honey or tualang honey dressing on a daily basis post surgical debridement. Wound healing was assessed by measuring the granulation surface area utilizing a tracing technique. The primary outcome measure which was area of coverage with new granulation tissue was checked in each group after seven days. Other variables which might affect wound healing that were considered as confounders were recorded and analysed as well as the primary outcome. There was no significant difference (p=0.687) between manuka honey and tualang honey group in terms of mean percentage of granulation tissue surface area after one week of dressing in diabetic foot ulcers (manuka group 60.7%, tualang group 57.0%). All variables in both groups which were age, wound size, HbA1c, haemoglobin level, serum albumin level, absolute lymphocyte count and ankle-brachial systolic pressure index (ABSI), were comparable and were found not to be statistically significant to influence the primary outcome. Tualang honey induced granulation and exhibited beneficial action in promoting wound healing which was comparable to the more established manuka honey. The result suggests that tualang honey could be used as an alternative therapeutic agent for diabetic foot wounds with similar beneficial effects as those expected for manuka honey.

Summary Tualang honey is obtained from large honeycombs produced by Asian bees (Apis dorsata) in gigantic Tualang trees. It has been used traditionally by local communities to treat wounds. However, unlike manuka honey its medicinal uses are not well researched. An open, prospective study into the efficacy of wound healing in full thickness wounds in rats, was designed to compare two honey impregnated dressings with silver-impregnated hydrofibre dressings. A full-thickness wound was created on the dorsum of Sprague-Dawley rats (n=45). Tualang honey impregnated paraffin tulle (P-honey) and tualang honey impregnated hydrofibre dressings (H-honey) were compared with silver-containing hydrofibre dressing (positive control; H-Ag). The wounds were inspected on days 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28. The dressings and wounds were assessed for adherence, ease of removal, fluid accumulation, dryness of skin and exudates, rate of epithelization, healing and wound contraction. Three rats treated with each dressing were sacrificed on the days that wounds were inspected. The wounds and scars were histologically analysed for inflammatory parameters. Tualang honey impregnated dressings were comparable to the commercially available silver impregnated hydrofibre dressing in terms of adherence, ease of removal, fluid accumulation, dryness of surrounding skin and exudates; p > 0.05 for non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests and post hoc corrections with a Mann-Whitney test. The rates of wound healing, wound contracture and subsequent histological analysis of inflammatory reaction by each dressing were also comparable. Tualang honey impregnated dressings were as effective as silver impregnated hydrofibre dressings in terms of dressing properties, promotion of wound healing and inflammatory reaction.

Summary Honey is traditionally consumed by the local Malaysian population as a nutrient, as well as for the enhancement of fertility. The decline in male reproductive health and fertility in the last 30 years has been linked to environmental toxicants including cigarette smoke (CS). In human and experimental studies, CS exposure has been associated with decreased plasma testosterone level, lower sperm count and increased percentage of abnormal sperm. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the possible protective role of honey against the toxic effects of CS on testicular functions in rats. Thirty-two adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (8 rats per group) i.e. control group, honey-treated group (H), cigarette smoke-exposed group (CS) and honey-treated plus CS-exposed group (H+CS). Rats in control and CS groups received oral administration of distilled water daily while rats in H and H+CS groups received honey (1.2 g/kg body weight) orally by gavage daily. Rats in CS and H+CS groups were also exposed to CS for 8 min (3 times/day). After 13 weeks of treatment, each rat was sacrificed for reproductive parameters analysis. Rats in CS group had significantly lower sperm count, daily sperm production, percentage of motile sperm and testosterone level as well as a higher percentage of abnormal sperm compared to control and H groups. However, supplementation of honey significantly improved all these parameters in H+CS group. Administration of honey significantly attenuated the toxic effects of CS on spermatogenesis and testosterone level in rats. This study suggests that honey might have a protective effect against CS-induced impaired testicular functions in rats.

Propolis is an antimicrobial agent whose composition can vary depending on the area from which it is collected. The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of two propolis samples from northern and southern Iran (Mazandaran and Hormozgan province respectively) against some fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strains isolated from HIV patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC). The chemical composition of propolis samples was determined by high-resolution gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Ethanolic extracts were prepared from the propolis samples. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of propolis on the growth of C. albicans isolates were determined using the broth microdilution method. The main compounds of propolis extracts were aromatic acids such as caffeic acid (1.6% for northern and 2.2% for southern samples). The propolis extracts showed antifungal activities; the concentrations capable of inhibiting all of the yeasts ranged from 2 to 20 mg/mL. Propolis from southern Iran showed the most effective MIC values for the yeasts studied. Because of increased antifungal resistance, propolis may be kept in mind in the treatment of oral cavity diseases such as OPC in HIV patients.

We previously reported that three different inbred strains of mice (CBA/Ki, C3H/f/Ki and C57BI/Ki) survived in a healthy condition when fed only a bee pollen granules diet and drinking water for 365 days. Similarly, Sprague-Dawley rats showed comparable skeletal and organ growth and development when fed a similar bee pollen diet during a twelve-week period as compared to control animals fed a standard laboratory diet. It was the purpose of this study to determine how long the survival time of CBA/Ki mice could be extended beyond 365 days when fed only bee pollen granules and water as compared to controls. Control mice survived a mean of 477 days (389-548) with 100% diagnosed with renal amyloidosis at autopsy which characterized this strain of mice in our laboratory. All pollen fed mice appeared healthy when euthanized at 600 days of age. Survival times were compared with a log rank test (p < 0.001). Also, there was no evidence of pathology particularly in the kidneys. These unexpected findings could be interpreted as being consistent with the genetotrophic disease concept proposed more than fifty years ago, namely, that bee pollen contains either a unique nutrient or a higher level of one or more nutrients that may be lacking or at a lower concentration in the standard diet which will then circumvent partial genetic blocks in the metabolic assembly line. If correct, this finding could provide an experimental model for study in the emerging field of nutrigenomics.
