Adhesion, growth and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells on materials for bone implants
Doubková, Martina ; Bačáková, Lucie (advisor) ; Filová, Eva (referee)
This thesis focuses on testing and improving Ti-6Al-4V ELI biomaterials, which are currently one of the most used titanium alloys in biomedicine (predominantly in orthopaedics and dentistry), in cooperation with research institutions and private companies developing and producing such materials. The metallic samples were previously modified by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with use of electrolytes of a different composition to induce development of a homogeneous TiO2 layer on its surface. In vitro interactions of human osteoblast-like cell line Saos-2 with the surface of Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy samples are investigated. Initial cell attachment, spreading, morphology, cell population density, viability, calcium deposition and expression of selected osteogenic markers, e.g. collagen type I, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, were evaluated on cultured cells. The cells behavior were then correlated with physicochemical properties of the material surface, such as its topography, roughness, wettability, surface layer chemical composition etc. The results are also compared with those obtained in cells cultured on control samples of untreated alloys as well as microscopic glass coverslips and bottom of standard polystyrene cell culture wells. The aim of this thesis is to select the most promising...

Alkaline phosphatase as an indicator for the heat treatment of the milk for cheesemaking
Summary
The aim of this diploma thesis was to summarize current knowledge about the evaluation of alkaline phosphatase activity as an indicator of heat treatment of milk for production of dairy products in theoretical part. In experimental part were comparised 2 methods for this enzyme activity determination, the original according to ČSN EN ISO 11816-2 (2003), using pasteurized milk as an extracting agent, and ISO 11816-2/IDF 155-2 (2010), using extraction buffer. For comparison were used 110 cheese samples, 8 quarg products, 49 fresh cheese products, 9 spiced fresh cheese products, 7 white-brined cheese products, 7 Penicillium sp. flora cheese products, 5 coryneform flora cheese products and 25 semi-hard and hard cheese products.
Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) is a hydrolase cleaving phosphate groups at the 5th and 3rdposition of many molecules including especially nucleotides and proteins. The enzyme has a pH optimum in the alkaline range (pH 10), their cofactors are ions Zn2+and inhibitors Cu2+. Dairy alkaline phosphatase derived from mammary epithelium and other cellular residua in milk. In this medium is the enzyme localized on the membrane of fat globules. Their amount depends on the stage of lactation (the highest concentration is in colostrum) and animal health (their concentration increases when disease, especially mastitis, starts). Due to its specific thermostability is alkaline phosphatase used for proof of milk and milk products pasteurization.
In the experimental part of the diploma thesis was found that the recommended substitution of pasteurized milk for buffer improves enzyme extraction process from cheese matrix and so enhances method sensitivity (p > 0.05). Method unsuitability for Penicillium sp. flora cheese (especially for blue-veined ones) was also confirmed (p > 0.05). This unsuitability could be explained by content of microbial alkaline phosphatase. For the same reason might not be this method suitable also for coryneform flora cheese. On the contrary, this analysis is suitable (p > 0.05) for white-brined cheese. For spiced fresh cheese were the results in terms of evaluation suitability ambiguous. Based on the obtained data was also confirmed the suitability of proposed limit (10 mU/g) for residual enzyme activity in products from pasteurized milk.

Disorders of mineral metabolism in cattle
KADLECOVÁ, Lenka
My Bachelor thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The goal of the theoretical part is to elaborate the bibliography dealing with significant production diseases of cattle with emphasis on the disorders of the metabolism of mineral substances especially of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The bibliography contains a description of the symptoms, therapies and the prevention of particular diseases. The practical part of my Bachelor thesis includes two areas of findings. The first part focuses on the intake of the minerals substances in question contained in food and mineral supplements in dairy cows on the farm Horní Staňkov. The second part follows the contents of mineral substances and alkaline phosphatase in the blood plasma and urine of dairy cows. Based on the examination of blood plasma and urine an overview of the level of saturation with macroelements in dairy cows was made.

Seasonal dynamics of selected blood parametres of selected flesh breeds of sheep bred in foothills conditions
ŽÁČKOVÁ, Klára
Sheep breeding is nowadays a developing branch of agriculture again. There is a lot of different breed and they react distinctly on the same conditions of the enviroment. Sheep of breeds charollais, suffolk, šumavská ovce and valaška bred in similar conditions were observed in spring and autumn of years 2007 and 2008. In these seasons were taking blood samples (from {$\pm$}7{--}24) ewes and lambs and were analyzed in hematology laboratory. There were determined haemoglobin level, haematocrit indicator, erytrocytes and leucocytes levels, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides levels, urea and plasmatic proteins, activity of ALP and GMT enzymes, phosphor, calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper levels. The main objective of this project was determine seasonal changes in observed parametres. Next objectives were determine different changes in blood parametres in different breeds and different aimes of breeds. There were recognized that all the observed breeds don`t react the same way on similar conditions. There were not provably determined seasonal changes in observed parametres, but average Hb level was higher in autumn than in spring. Urea level was conversely higher in spring season than in autumn. The demostrable fact is, that the similar conditions induce different answers not only in different breeds but also in different aimes of breeds.
