GRP was known as the modulator of Pain transmission in central nervous system and local effector to peripheral tissue causing vasodilation, increased blood flow, modulation of immune sysem, stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation, and stimulation of bone formation. Numerous study, therefore, were done to elucidate involvement of CGRP to tooth movement. To investgate the response of CGRP immunoreactive nerve cells according to cell size in trigeminal ganglion during tooth movement, immunohistochemical study was performed using rat. Experimental rats(9 weeks old, 210 gm) were divided as six groups(normal(n=6), 3 hour group(n=5), 12 hour group(n=4), 1 day group(n=5), 3 day group(n=5), 7 day group(n=5)), and were applied orthodontic force (approximately 30 gm) to upper right maxillary molar. After frozen sections of trigeminal ganglions were immunostained using rabbit antisera, the changes of CGRP immunoreactive cells in regard to cell size distribution(small cell(upto $20{\mu}m$), medium cell($20-35{\mu}m$), large cell(above $35{\mu}m$)) were observed. The results were as follows 1. The percentage of CGRP immunoreactive cells to all nerve cells in trigeminal ganglion was 33.0% in normal control group, was decreased to 24.5% in 1 day group, and was increased to 41.8% in 7 day group. 2. The percentage of small, medium, and large cells expressing CGRP immunoreactivity in normal trigeminal ganglion to all CGRP immunoreactive cells were 51.3%, 44.0%, 4.7%, respectively. 3. The percentage of small cells with CGRP immunoreactivity to all CGRP immunopositive cells was increased in 3 hour and 12 hour groups. 4. The percentage of medium cells with CGRP immunoreactivity was increaed in 3 day and 7 day groups. 5. The percentage of large cells with CGRP immunoreactivity was increaed in 7 day group. Conclusively, the small cells with CGRP immunoreactivity in trigeminal ganglion respond to orthodontic force during initial phase of tooth movement, and later the medium and large cells with CGRP immunoreactivity respond

미주신경의 마디신경절내에 존재하는 신경세포는 경부, 흉강 및 복강의 감각신경을 지배하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 이와 관련된 SP, CGRP 등의 신경펩디드의 분포에 관하여 많은 보고가 이루어졌다. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide(VIP)는 혈관, 평활근, 분비선 주위에 분포하는 부교감신경세포의 전달물질로서 후두의 자율신경계의 조절에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다 이러한 VIP지배신경의 기원에 관해서는 미주신경이나 후두신경, 그리고 일부 후두 구조내에 존재하는 부신경절(Paraganglia)에서 기원한 후 신경절 부교감신경으로 알려져 있는데, 즉 미주신경의 마디신경절은 단지 감각신경의 기원이 되는 신경세포 집합체로 마디신경절과 자율신경계의 상관관계에 대한 연구는 극히 드문 실정이다. 그러나 일부 보고에서 성문하부의 점막상피에서 SP나 CGRP외에도 VIP 양성세포가 발견됨으로써 일반적으로 자율신경계 세포로 알려진 VIP 양성세포의 기원과 기능은 더 규명되어야 할 부분의 하나로 사료된다 금번 저자는 고양이의 마디신경절에 대하여 면역 조직화학적 방법을 통한 VIP양성 세포의 출현여부를 관찰함으로써 마디신경절과 자율신경계와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다.
