Iron metabolism, oxidative stress and progression of atherosclerosis
Syrovátka, Petr ; Kraml, Pavel (advisor) ; Poledne, Rudolf (referee) ; Vokurka, Martin (referee)
Ferritin, oxidative stress and insulin resistance Aim: The aim of our cross-sectional study was to assess the relationships between body iron stores, oxidative stress and impaired insulin sensitivity in a cohort of healthy men in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Methods: We examined 151 volunteers, aged 35- 60 years. Anthropometric parameters, markers of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, inflammatory markers, parameters of oxidative stress and parameters of endothelial dysfunction were measured. Results: Ferritin correlated positively with waist circumference, body mass index, impaired insulin sensitivity, plasma triglycerides and inversely with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. We observed positive correlations between ferritin, oxidized low-density lipoprotein and advanced oxidation protein products after adjustment for age, waist circumference, body mass index and measured inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α). In a stepwise multiple regression analysis, triglycerides, waist circumference and elevated transaminases were independent determinants of the serum ferritin level. Conclusions: Our results provide evidence for a relationship between plasma ferritin and oxidative modification of lipids as...

Realization wireless nets in school environment
SYROVÁTKA, Petr
The diploma thesis deals with the theoretical research of the current state of eduactional infrastructure and requirements for its complementarity with the elements of wireless technologies. It looks into the requirements and specific situations typical for school environments and differs them from common commercial applications. It also deals with the influence of the incoming trend of mass spreading of informational and communicational means using wireless technologies among educators and also students. In the practical part of the work a design of model arrangement for wireless network coverage of a shool building is created. Not only technical requirements for used components are analysed here, but also the available technologies on the market. The thesis also deals with the projection and designing a wireless network issues, but also the qualities and measuring of the wireless coverage in buildings. There arise instructions for the realisation of one of the possible technological arrangements concerning the particularities of a school environment.
