After considering the vacuum polarization and the radiative correction of the nucleon-nucleon-pion ([ital NN][pi]) system, the one-pion exchange potential with pseudovector coupling or pseudoscalar coupling at finite temperature and finite density is investigated. By using finite-temperature and density quantum field theory, we find that both the pseudovector and pseudoscalar effective coupling of [ital NN][pi] decrease as temperature and/or density increase, and drop remarkably at high temperature regions and/or high density regions. At a critical temperature [ital T][sub [ital c]] or a critical density [rho][sub [ital c]], the effective [ital NN][pi] coupling diminishes to zero and the one-pion exchange potential vanishes.
