Observed effects of tandem shock waves in cell suspension
Dibdiak, Lukáš ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Jelínek, Otakar (referee)
Master's thesis deals with the research of the interaction of two consecutive - tandem shock waves focused into the common focus. (...) This work also deals with a comparative assessment of the effects of single and tandem shock waves acting in vitro. The reason is that these effects may occur both in the so-called shock waves extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL), as well as in other therapeutic methods.

Raman spectroscopy as the tool for Alzheimer's disease diagnostics
Tesař, Adam ; Kopecký, Vladimír (advisor) ; Jelínek, Otakar (referee)
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most frequent dementia. The prevalence is approximately 10% in 65 years old people. The current treatment is only progression protective, therefore it is crucial to find a new diagnostic approach for diagnosing AD in early stage. We analysed a set of 55 patients by the drop coating deposition Raman spectroscopy with the goal to verify previously published high sensitivity of the AD spectroscopic diagnosis in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and to find a new diagnostic method for blood serum (BS). We optimized measurement conditions for BS. The results were evaluated by the cluster analysis and the principal component analysis. The small set of samples exhibited high sensitivity in both CSF and BS but that distinctly decreased in the whole set. The results for CSF were affected by the choice of the analysed spectral interval. The best for AD diagnose was the interval containing peaks at 980, 1080 and 1249 cm-1.The results for BS have been the most sensitive in the whole spectral range. They have low sensitivity but high specificity for AD (92%). The usage of neural networks has conversely high sensitivity and low specificity in both sets of samples of BS and CSF.

Molecular mechanism of DNA regulatory segment recognition by MADS box family transcription factors
Profantová, Barbora ; Štěpánek, Josef (advisor) ; Jelínek, Otakar (referee) ; Manfait, Michel (referee)
The thesis deals with physico-chemical properties of the MADS box, binding domain of transcription factors, which are important for the formation of complexes with the DNA regulatory segment bearing the CArG box. The study was performed also on model oligopeptides, selected segments of the MADS box and their analogues with a point mutation. A wide range of spectroscopic techniques was employed, namely absorption, circular dichroism, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies. Advanced approaches including multivariate methods were used for data processing. The three tyrosines of the MADS box located in amino-acid vicinities of different charge and hydrophobicity, were used as intrinsic spectroscopic probes. The obtained characteristics of the MADS box and its segments structural arrangement, flexibility and acid-base equilibria are the main results of the work.
