For inhaled medicines, particles encapsulating the medicines can be engineered to pass through the pulmonary epithelium more effectively and remain in the bloodstream longer, protecting them from enzymes that would otherwise metabolize the medicines quickly. This Master's thesis focuses on the preparation and characterization of liposomes with encapsulated FGF10 STAB® for acute respiratory distress syndrome treatment. Thin film hydration and Mozafari methods were used, each allowing the preparation of liposomes with different compositions and properties. The thin film hydration method provided liposomes with complex composition containing either cationic or anionic lipid and/or covalently bound polyethylene glycol. The Mozafari method provided liposomes containing various lipid to glycerol ratios. Dynamic light scattering, steady state fluorescence anisotropy, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and air jet nebulization experiments were performed to characterize prepared liposome formulations and evaluate their suitability for pulmonary delivery by nebulization. Three liposome formulations prepared by the thin film hydration technique were evaluated as suitable candidates for pulmonary delivery of FGF10 STAB® since they exhibited low cytotoxic properties, good cellular uptake, high encapsulation efficiency and great stability. On the contrary, Mozafari liposomes, as prepared in this work, did not exhibit properties suitable for FGF10 STAB® encapsulation and delivery by nebulization.

Process of defence
Obhajoba proběhla podle následujícího schématu: prezentace studentky-vyjádření vedoucí/ho-oponentský posudek-reakce na posudek-diskuse s komisí. Studentka přednesla výborný výtah výsledků své diplomové práce, řádně zodpověděla všechny dotazy oponentské i členů komise, pohotově reagovala na připomínky. V diskusi tak studentka prokázala výbornou schopnost orientace v teoretických i praktických základech problematiky diplomové práce. Komise zhodnotila její diplomovou práci celkově jako výbornou. Obruča: Proč se zkoušely všechny možné typy liposomů? Jaká byla motivace výběru PEGu? Kozáková: Jak probíhalo vyhodnocení záchytu liposomů v aparatuře?

Reasons for publication postponement
Publication of diploma thesis, resp. its chapter "Experimental Part" is in accordance with the provision of § 47b, paragraph 4 of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions, postponed. The reason for postponing the publication is the fact that the diploma thesis, respectively, the chapter "experimental part" contains information protected by special legal regulations (e. g. No. 527/1990 Coll., on Inventions and Improvement Proposals).
