However, there are few reports confirming this infection using molecular biological techniques. We herein describe the case of a 67-year-old man who developed IE. Blood culture samples and strains obtained from the gingival and buccal mucosa showed 100% identity to Enterococcus faecalis JCM 5803 on sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments. A random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis showed the same pattern for these samples, thus confirming the identity of E. faecalis isolates in the blood and oral mucosa. Our observations provide novel information regarding the level of identity between IE pathogens and oral bacteria.No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.Okayama University Medical SchoolActa Medica Okayama0386-300X6862014Management of Lacerated and Swollen Tongue after Convulsive Seizure with a Mouth Protector: Interprofessional Collaboration Including Dentists in Intensive Care375378ENReikoYamanakaYoshihikoSogaYoshieMoriyaAkemiOkuiTetsuoTakeuchiKenjiSatoHiroshiMorimatsuManabuMoritaCase Report10.18926/AMO/53027We encountered a 74-year-old male patient with tongue laceration after convulsive seizures under intensive care. The tongue showed severe swelling, and the right ventral surface had been lacerated by his isolated and pointed right lower canine. Our university hospital has established a perioperative management center, and is promoting interprofessional collaboration, including dentists, in perioperative management. Dentists collaborating in the perioperative management center took dental impressions, with the support of anesthesiologists who opened the patientʼs jaw under propofol sedation, to produce a mouth protector. By raising the patientʼs bite, the completed mouth protector prevented the isolated tooth from contacting the tongue and protected the lacerated wound. Use of the mouth protector prevented the lacerated tongue from coming into contact with the pointed tooth, and the tongue healed gradually. These findings underscore that interprofessional collaboration including dentists can improve the quality of medical care.No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山歯学会Acta Medica Okayama0913-39413222013岡山大学病院歯科系診療科等が医科系診療科等から受けた院内紹介とそれに対する初動対応 ―平成22年度と23年度を対象とした実態調査―5763ENReikoYamanakaEmikoUdakaAikoYoshitomiErikoMatsumotoYoshihikoSogaManabuMoritaNo potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山歯学会Acta Medica Okayama0913-39412812009岡山大学病院周術期管理センター(歯科部門)設立後5ヵ月間の活動内容および今後の展開3742ENReikoYamanakaYoshihikoSogaKumikoNawachiYoshinobuYanagiNaokiKodamaTakashiNakataRumiMiuraMisaoHagawaTetsuoTakeuchiMiekoYamaneManabuMoritaShogoTakashibaJun-ichiAsamiShogoMinagiMasahiroYoshiyamaTsutomuShimonoTakuoKubokiAkiraSasakiKiyoshiMoritaNo potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山歯学会Acta Medica Okayama0913-39413122012岡山大学病院歯科系診療科等が医科系診療科等から受けた院内紹介とそれに対する初動対応 ― 平成22年度を対象とした実態調査―6771ENYoshihikoSogaEmikoKurashigeReikoYamanakaAikoYoshitomiManabuMoritaNo potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.Acta Medica Okayama1340-79881932012気管挿管における口腔内偶発症防止対策の必要性431432ENNo potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.Acta Medica Okayama2004機械的刺激によるラット歯肉の接合上皮基底細胞と線維芽細胞の細胞周期の変化ENReikoYamanakaNo potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.
