The cells of origin of sensory and sympathetic innervation of the temporo-mandibular joint were studied by the intraaxonal transport method. Horseradish peroxidase or lectin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase was injected into the temporo-mandibular joint unilaterally in adult rats. Labelled cells were observed ipsilaterally in the superior cervical and stellate sympathetic ganglia, in the sensory trigeminal ganglion and in the second to fifth dorsal root ganglia; none were found contralaterally. The results are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that a nervous mechanism might be involved in the pathogenesis of joint inflammation.
采用轴突内运输法研究了颞下颌关节感觉神经和交感神经支配的起源细胞。将辣根过氧化物酶或凝集素结合辣根过氧化物酶单侧注入成年大鼠的颞下颌关节。在同侧的颈上神经节和星状交感神经节、感觉三叉神经节以及第二至第五背根神经节中观察到标记细胞；对侧未发现。结合神经机制可能参与关节炎症发病机制的假说对结果进行了讨论。
