Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Candidate Mgr. Anna Nováčková Supervisor doc. Mgr. Jarmila Zbytovská, Dr. rer. nat. Title of Doctoral Thesis Study of substances affecting permeability of the skin barrier The skin barrier plays a vital role in protecting the human body and enables mammals' life on dry land. The epidermis has the primary barrier function due to several cells' layers, which gradually differentiate to their final stage, the stratum corneum (SC). SC is formed by stratified keratinocytes (known as corneocytes) surrounded by a lipid matrix. This intercellular matrix consists of an approximately equimolar ratio of ceramides, free fatty acids and cholesterol. These are particular substances formed in the epidermis from their precursors during the keratinocyte's differentiation, and their arrangement into the multilamellar structure is essential for the impermeability of the skin barrier. However, some substances or factors can disrupt the skin barrier. It is usually an undesirable process of lipid disbalance resulting in disorders or diseases of the skin barrier. On the other hand, specific substances have been developed for a reversible disruption of the skin barrier (so-called enhancers) to allow drug...

Analysis of nanopartical systems by atomic spectrometry
Jeníková, Eva ; Hraníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Nováková, Eliška (referee)
EN The present diploma thesis is focused on optimization methods of titanium and phosphorus concentration for their use in the colloidal solution of TiO2 nanoparticles modified by bisphosphonates. For these analyses was used atomic absorption spectrometry with flame and electrothermal atomization. The characteristics of the two analytes were compared to two different spectrometers. Using the F-AAS technique on the GBC 933 AA spectrometer has been achieved a detection limit of 5,2 mg l-1 for titanium and a detection limit of 163 mg l-1 for the phosphorus. Using the ContrAA 700 spectrometer, F-AAS has been achieved an almost five times lower detection limit of 1,1 mg l-1 for titanium determination. For determination of phosphorus using this spectrometer, was obtained a similar value of 151 mg l-1 , as using the GBC 933 AA spectrometer. The determination of phosphorus by the ET-AAS technique using the ContrAA 700 spectrometer resulted in a detection limit of 1,23 mg l-1 , which is a significant difference compared to the flame system. It has been proved that optimized methods are consistent with the intention, which was confirmed by the analysis of real titanium and phosphorus samples in the colloidal solution of TiO2 nanoparticles modified bisphosphonates.
