Conventional identification methods for </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species are technically difficult to conduct and cannot accurately distinguish each species. The purpose of the present study was to design primers to identify and detect simultaneously</span><span> </span><span>eight medically important </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species using one-step multiplex PCR. PCR primers were designed based on partial sequences of intergenic spacer (IGS) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes of eight medically important </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species. These primers were able to distinguish each </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species and did not display cross-reactivity with representative </span><i><span>Candida </span></i><span>species other than the eight</span><i><span> Candida</span></i><span> species. Moreover, our developed one-step multiplex PCR method is accurate, specific, cost-effective, time-saving, and worked without requiring DNA extraction.</span>展开更多

It was concluded to be a case of simultaneous odontogenic toothache and nonodontogenic toothache. It was successfully treated by an endodontist and an orofacial pain specialist. The endodontist performed root canal treatment against odontogenic toothache caused by apical periodontitis using a dental operating microscope. The presence of a trigger point (TP) resulting in tooth pain was inferred. A trigger point injection (TPI) was administered by orofacial pain specialist, and toothache relief was confirmed. Myofascial pain was diagnosed definitively. After confirming that the toothache had resolved at multiple TPIs, a crown prosthesis was placed. Following the application of crown prosthesis, we were concerned but did not find recurrence of toothache from myofascial pain due to increased occlusal force. This case suggests that there is no single cause of chronic pain and that multiple causes must be considered for diagnosis, suggesting the need for treatment by multiple specialists.展开更多
