Retrocyclins
Soukup, Jakub ; Španielová, Hana (advisor) ; Beranová, Jana (referee)
Defensins are peptides with antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral activity. Defensins are likely to occur in all vertebrate species. There are three subfamilies of defensins - α, β and θ-defensins. The α-defensins exists only in mammals and θ-defensins were described only in macaques and baboons but their genes occur in genomes of all old world monkeys except Homininae subfamily. In humans no θ-defensins are produces due to premature stop codon in their coding sequence. However, they were produced synthetically in vitro and named retrocyclins. Retrocyclins not only maintain antimicrobial activity - but also exhibit unusual antiviral activity. Retrocyclins successfully protect cells from HIV, HSV, influenza and dengue fever virus infections with no detectable cytotoxicity to host cells. Retrocyclin RC- 101 is close to the clinical testing as microbicide to prevent heterosexual transmission of HIV-1.
Preparation of the pandemic plan - the course of the influenza pandemy caused by the Pandemic A (H1N1) 2009 virus in the Pilsen region.
VELKOBORSKÁ, Marcela
An influenza is an illness annually affecting 5-15 percent of the world population. During the influenza pandemy 40-50 percent of world population can be affected and millions of people can die.The measures resulting from the pandemic plans help to limit the influenza virus spreading, to reduce morbidity and mortality. In April 2009 the first cases of the flue pandemic caused by Pandemic A (H1N1) 2009 virus occurred on the American continent, in the Czech Republic there was the first case registered in May, in the Pilsen region in July. Based on these facts I decided to assess the pandemic plans at the level of the Pilsen region and to analyse the course of the pandemy in the Pilsen region too. Having studied the Pandemic plan of the Pilsen region and the Pandemic plan of the Regional Hygiene Station of the Pilsen Region I got to the conclusion that in case of the pandemy caused by the highly virulent tribe of the influenza it would not be possible to use up the pandemic plans efficiently. The disadvantages concern mainly the way of the distribution of the pandemic vaccine and antivirotics. The other disadvantage is the absence of a parenteral form of antivirotics. A bad awarness of the inhabitants also came out effecting mass rejection of vaccination by the pandemic vaccine and preventative taking antivirotics. The analyse of the course of the pandemy in the Pilsen region proved that at many patients with the flue pandemic there was present a risky factor of more serious course of the influenza in the anamnesis. If these patients had been vaccinated by the pandemic vaccine they had been entitled for, they could have been protected against this illness, for some of them the vaccination might have meant life-saving. It was also proved that originally the pandemic tribe of Pandemic A (H1N1) 2009 virus became the causer of the common seasonal influenza in the season of 2010-2011.
