Dr. Kawthar Amawi, Dean of the Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences at Zarqa University, participated in the 13^th Annual International Conference on Health and Medical Sciences, held in Athens, Greece, from May 5^th to 8^th, 2025, under the auspices of the Athens Journal of Health and Medical Sciences.

Dr. Amawi presented a scientific paper titled "Investigating the Expression of Cyclin D1 and PAX5 in the Liver of Diabetic Rats". The paper aimed to assess the expression levels of the PAX5 and Cyclin D1 genes in the liver tissue of diabetic and non-diabetic rats. An animal model of diabetes was developed and laboratory experiments were conducted on it.

The results showed a significant increase in glucose levels and lipid profiles in the diabetic group compared to the control group. Histological studies also revealed slight changes in liver structure, while immunohistochemical analyses revealed a significant increase in the expression of PAX5 and Cyclin D1 in the liver tissue of diabetic rats. These results suggest that overexpression of PAX5 and Cyclin D1 in the liver may play a potential role in the inflammation associated with the development of diabetes, making them important molecular markers for understanding inflammatory changes in the liver in diabetic patients.

The conference was organized by the Medical Unit at the Athens Institute as part of the 11^th International Mini-Symposium on Diabetes, which aims to bring together academics and researchers in the field of diabetes and related medical disciplines.
