A 2-year-old spayed female Great Pyrenees cross dog was presented following the consumption of pure xylitol sweetener. Blood tests revealed hepatocellular leakage and cholestasis, hyperlactatemia, thrombocytopenia, and prolonged prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times. Thoracic
OBJECTIVE
Oral bacteria implying a natural resistance may deteriorate the antibacterial efficacy of chlorhexidine on cariogenic microorganisms. Xylitol, mostly applied via chewing gum, is known to possess favorable plaque-reducing properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a
METHODS
8 adult dogs were evaluated for treatment of lethargy and vomiting after ingestion of xylitol, a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in various products.
RESULTS
In addition to vomiting and lethargy, 5 of the dogs had widespread petechial, ecchymotic, or gastrointestinal tract hemorrhages.
Xylose-to-xylitol conversion was investigated in a bench-scale bioreactor using Candida guilliermondii cells entrapped within polyvinyl alcohol-hydrogel beads in a system operated in repeated-batch mode with cell recycling. Yeast-viable cells were immobilized in the support using the
Confronted with the gradual exhaustion of the earth's fossil energy resources and the grimmer environmental deterioration, the bio-based process to produce high-value added platform chemicals from renewable biomass is attracting growing interest. Escherichia coli has been chosen as a workhouse for
The entire nucleotide sequence of the xylose reductase (XR) gene in Candida milleri CBS8195 sourdough yeast was determined by degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and genome walking. The sequence analysis revealed an open-reading frame of 981 bp that encoded 326 amino acids with a predicted
OBJECTIVE
Comparison of early postoperative hypocaloric nutrition with glucose or xylitol/sorbitol- amino acid solutions versus saline alone. Influence on substrate, especially protein metabolism.
METHODS
Prospective randomized study.
METHODS
Intensive care unit of an university hospital.

OBJECTIVE
To clone and identify a gene (CmXYL3) coding D-xylulokinase from Candida maltosa Xu316 and understand its physiological function.
RESULTS
Based on the conserved regions of the known D-xylulokinase-encoding genes, a pair of degenerate primers was designed to clone the CmXYL3 gene from C.
Four children (aged 2 1/2-14 years) were given infusions of fructose, sorbitol and xylitol after sustaining head trauma (n = 3) or after attempted suicide with carbromal (n = 1). After transitory polyuria renal failure of varying severity set in three to five days after onset of the infusion
Various clinical and pathologic items were examined regarding renal oxalosis in 501 autopsy cases. The rubeanic acid method (Yasue) was applied to 501 kidney sections to demonstrate the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. The extent of renal oxalosis was determined by counting the black-stained
