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®.

Flow injection analysis of selected glycosaminoglycans with spectrofluorimetric detection
Tichá, Renata ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Rychlovský, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on a determination of heparin and chondroitin sulfate, using flow injection analysis with spectrofluorimetric detection. The determination is based on the interaction of negatively charged heparin, chondroitin sulfate resp., with a cationic dye (azure B or phenosafranine) which is manifested by the decrease in fluorescence intensity of the dye in its emission maximum. The optimal conditions for the determination in static mode were found, and calibration dependencies were measured. The conditions of FIA were optimized and following parameters were established: the volume of dispensed sample of 100 ml, the length of the reaction coil 60 cm, the flow rate 0.7 ml min-1 , the concentration of azure B 1.6×10-5 mol dm-3 , the concentration of phenosafranine 3.5×10-5 mol dm-3 . For the determination of heparin using azure B it was found: LOD = 0.023 IU ml-1 , LOQ = 0.186 IU ml-1 , and linear dynamic range 0.19-1.43 IU ml-1 . For the determination of heparin using phenosafranine it was found: LOD = 0.102 IU ml-1 , LOQ = 0.192 IU ml-1 , and linear dynamic range 0.19-1.79 IU ml-1 . For the determination of chondroitin sulfate using azure B it was found: LOD = 0.58 mg dm-3 , LOQ = 2.37 mg dm-3 , and linear dynamic range 2.37-8.32 mg dm-3 . The developed determination was applied to the...
