Derivatization of Sodium Hyaluronate as a Possible Tool for Increasing of the Stability of Model Artificial Synovial Fluid
Hrochová, Eliška ; Mravec, Filip (referee) ; Kalina, Michal (advisor)
This master thesis deals with the optimization of the procedure of modification of hyaluronic acid structure for the use in the artificial synovial liquids. Based on the literature research, the amino acid alanine was used for the modification of carboxylic group in the glucuronic acid. The main subject of study is the improvement of the stability and mechanical properties of synovial liquid. DLS microrheology, macrorheology, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), multi-angle light scattering with flow-field flow fractionation (AF4-MALS) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used for characterization. The theoretical part of this theses submits review of the musculoskeletal system, role of hyaluronic acid in metabolism and summary of synovial liquid. The experimental part focuses on the measurement of the stability and mechanical properties of three artificial samples (first with no modification, second with modified hyaluronic acid and third with modified hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate). These samples were compared with real horse synovial fluid and artificial viscosupplement Orthovisc®.

Determination of enantiomers of amino acids by HPLC
Michalčíková, Regina ; Tesařová, Eva (advisor) ; Janečková, Lucie (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with determination of amino acids enantiomers, namely alanine in the experimental part, by high performance liquid chromatography using chiral stationary phases based on teicoplanin. The theoretical part is focused on summarizing the fundamental issue of chirality and chiral amino acids in foods, the characteristics of high-performance liquid chromatography, as one of the most appropriate methods to enantioseparation amino acids, and description of the methods of derivatization, which are used in determination of enantiomers of amino acids. The experimental part deals with the separation of alanine enantiomers, with the choice of the best separation system for the separation and determination of D-and L-alanine in fruit juice.
