Bílková, Zuzana ; Pavelková, Isabella (advisor) ; Vágnerová, Marie (referee) ; Miňhová, Jana (referee)
TITLE:Family and School Socialization of Children with ADHD AUTHOR: Zuzana Bílková DEPARTMENT: Department of Psychology SUPERVISOR: Doc. PhDr. Isabella Pavelková, CSc. ABSTRACT: The thesis is focused on the process of socialization of children with ADHD in family and school setting. We present the overview of current research about etiologies, symptoms and therapy of the syndrome. The socialization is defined as the process of interactions between individual and his social and cultural background. ADHD symptoms are considered to be an important factor in socialization process, particularly as the factor affecting the relationships with parents and teachers. The research is focused on children of preschool and school age. We pose research questions concerning the influence of setting the diagnosis, the influence of ADHD on child's relationships with educators and the influence of the diagnosis on the relationship between family and school. Data were collected during interviews with parents and teachers of children with ADHD and during observation of children in their home or school. Data were analysed by qualitative analytic methods. Research outcomes point out the importance of educators' attitudes towards the problem, the importance of early setting a diagnosis and important role of motivational...

Possibilities of flow cytometry in analysis of cellular response to genotoxic stress
Havelek, Radim ; Řezáčová, Martina (advisor) ; Bílková, Zuzana (referee) ; Štětina, Rudolf (referee)
Possibilities of flow cytometry in analysis of cellular response to genotoxic stress Flow cytometry is a modern tool for interrogating the immunophenotype and functional characteristics of cells. It is a technique of quantitative single cell analysis that works by sensing optical properties of cells in a flow stream with laser beam. Analysis and differentiation of the cells is based on size, granularity, and whether the cell is carrying fluorescent molecules in the form of either conjugated antibodies or dyes. The cells may be stained with fluorescent dyes, incubated with fluorogenic substrate or labelled with fluorochrome-linked antibodies specific for molecules either on the surface or in the intracellular components of the cell. Flow cytometers are multiparameter, recording several measurements on each cell. Therefore, it is possible to identify a homogeneous subpopulation within a heterogeneous population of cells. When cells are exposed to genotoxic agent, they respond quantitatively and qualitatively according to the absorbed dose and the cell type. To cope with the resulting damage to cellular DNA, the temporary cell-cycle checkpoints and DNA damage response mechanisms are activated to allow more time for effective repair. However, if these mechanisms fail or the damage is irreparable, then...

The Role of Membrane Bound Enzymes in Metabolism of Xenobiotics in Human
Skarka, Adam ; Wsól, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bílková, Zuzana (referee) ; Hodek, Petr (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate Mgr. Adam Skarka Supervisor Prof. Ing. Vladimír Wsól, Ph.D. Title of Doctoral Thesis The role of membrane bound enzymes in metabolism of xenobiotics in human Heterogeneous substances named xenobiotics are commonly present in wide surroundings of man. Some of them are actively or passively acquired into organism and undergo metabolic transformation, which lead to their excretion. In this case, important role is played by different enzymatic systems. The most known system is superfamily of cytochrome P450s catalyzing oxidation reactions. However, the importance of reducing systems like superfamilies of short chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR), middle chain dehydrogenases/reductases (MDR) and aldo keto reductases (AKR) have grown recently. Carbonyl group, the target of reduction catalyzed by SDR, MDR and AKR superfamilies, is also present in various groups of drugs, e.g. antineoplastics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Conversion of this group can lead to the loss of therapeutic effect and/or to the increase of toxicity for organism. Some xenobiotics contain so called prochiral functional group in their structure, e.g. carbonyl group. Conversion of this group can lead to the...

Optimization of purification of human membrane-bound carbonyl reductase.
Andrýs, Rudolf ; Wsól, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bílková, Zuzana (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Rudolf Andrýs Supervisor: prof. Ing. Vladimír Wsól, Ph.D Title of diploma thesis: Optimalization of purification of a human membrane-bound carbonyl reductase Carbonyl reductases are enzymes participating in metabolic pathways of various eobiotics and xenobiotics. Of all known enzymes metabolizing xenobiotics only 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) is found in the microsomal membrane. It also contributes to metabolism of prochiral anticancer drug oracin, which main metabolic pathway is a carbonyl reduction on the position 11 leading to two enantiomers of (+) an (-) 11-dihydrooracin (DHO). Based on the discrepancy between microsomes and 11β-HSD1 stereospecifity of oracin reduction exist a hypothesis of participation an unknown microsomal enzyme in oracin metabolism. The aim of this study is to purify a new microsomal carbonyl reducing enzyme contributing in the biotransformation of oracin. Human liver microsomes were solubilised and desalted. The prepared sample was used for the first purification step on Q-Sepharose. Captured flow through fraction Q2 was loaded on Phenyl-sepharose. Captured suitable fraction P11 was used for third purification step by gel filtration. All...

Major attention is foeused on eollagen, its strueture and individual eollagen types. The seeond part eonsiders the problems of nonenzymatie glyeation and its influenee on the body and engage in produets of posttranslational modifieation. The third part summarizes the individual separation proeedures and analysis of posttranslationaly modified proteins. The seeond ehapter deseribes experimental parameters, including ehemieals, instrumentation, materials and methods. The preparation of individual samples is also deseribed.

The Role of Reductases in Cancer.
Škarydová, Lucie ; Wsól, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hodek, Petr (referee) ; Bílková, Zuzana (referee)
Only a small attention was paid for long time to reducing enzymes, but today it is clear that these are an important part of the endogenous metabolism and also the phase I biotransformation of xenobiotics. The significant group of reducing enzymes are carbonyl reductases that belong to two superfamilies - short chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) and aldo-keto reductases (AKR). Their role in cancer is now intensively studied and their functions in cancer it is possible to divide into two main sections. It is known that carbonyl reductases play a substantial role in hormone-dependent cancers as prostate, breast or endometrial cancer. Active estrogens or androgens are important growth factors for these cancers because they evoke increasing of cell proliferation so that elevated possibility of mutations of important genes and development of cancer. Carbonyl reductases along with other enzymes (e.g. aromatase) participate in formation of these active sex hormones in extragonadal tissues, so an inhibition of such enzymes may be a target of anticancer therapy of hormone-dependent cancers. It is necessary to determine which enzymes are essential for the formation of active sex hormones in particular types of cancers. Besides hormone-dependent cancers, carbonyl reductases play also role in cancers that...
