Characterization catanionic vesicular system by HRUS
Kopřivová, Hana ; Sovová, Šárka (referee) ; Hurčíková, Andrea (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is about catanionic vesicular systems, which could serve as carriers of drugs or genes in the future. These systems are prepared from the cationic surfactants CTAB and DDAC, the anionic surfactant SDS and cholesterol, which serves as a stabilizer. In the experimental part, these vesicles were characterized by high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy. The behavior of systems with different percentages of cholesterol was monitored. As next, the temperature properties of the vesicles were studied using temperature scans between 10 °C and 65 °C. The density of the samples was examined by densitometry at temperatures of 25 °C and at a human body temperature of 37 °C.

Multi-element analysis of soft tissues in paraffin by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
Kopřivová, Hana ; Samek, Ota (referee) ; Pořízka, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the analysis of paraffin-embedded soft tissues using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and the complementary technique of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Specifically, the work focuses on optimizing soft tissue LIBS measurement parameters for femtosecond and nanosecond pulsed laser ablation at different wavelengths on mouse kidneys as a soft tissue model matrix. In addition, elemental analyses were performed on several samples of the most commonly occurring human skin cancers (malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma) using the above-mentioned analytical methods. Maps of the spatial distributions of biogenic elements were obtained. Aim of this work is to show a potential of new analytical methods that are not intended to replace the classical histological examination completely. However, these techniques could be used for preliminary screening of tumor tissue or purely as a complementary technique for histologists to diagnose cancers. Both methods could offer a completely new perspective on soft tissue cancer diagnosis in the future.
