Published: January 2008

The Jak-Stat-Socs pathway is an important component of cytokine receptor signaling. Not surprisingly, perturbation of this pathway is implicated in diseases of hematopoietic and immune origin, including leukemia, lymphoma and immune deficiencies. This review examines the role of a key component of this pathway, Stat5. This has been shown to be activated in a variety of leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders, including downstream of a range of key oncogenes where it has been shown to play an important role in mediating their effects. Therefore, Stat5 represents a useful pan-leukemia/myeloproliferative disorder diagnostic marker and key therapeutic end point, as well as representing an attractive therapeutic target for these disorders.

: Caries or iatrogenic thermal trauma of the teeth have a significant impact on the dental pulp structure connected with stimulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify the difference in the rate of heat dissipation by vessels present in the dental pulp. : Freshly extracted healthy ( = 10) and carious ( = 14) molars and premolars were cut on a diamond saw and subjected to active thermographic examination and then subjected to lymphoscintigraphy and X-ray examination.
