Cognitive construct of attachment by addicted people

Název práce: Attachment jako kognitivní konstrukt u lidí se závislostí na návykových látkách a činnostech Řešitel: Ivana Křížová ABSTRAKT Tato disertační práce se zabývá tématem citové vazby jako kognitivního konstruktu. Jejím cílem je zjistit, zda existuje u lidí se závislostí na návykových látkách a činnostech vztah mezi typem citové vazby a kognitivními konstrukty, které se k ní váží. Práce vychází z teorie o tvorbě osobnostních konstruktů a významů na události v životě jedince. Teoretická část se věnuje popisu citové vazby, kognitivních konstruktů a závislostní problematiky. Empirická část popisuje design výzkumu a analýzu dat. Výzkum byl realizován pomocí výzkumné baterie, která měřila typ citové vazby, raná maladaptivní schémata a kognitivní konstrukty vztahující se k citové vazbě. Výzkumná baterie se skládala z metod Adult Attachment Projective (AAP), Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) , Young Schmeas Questionnaire (YSQ) a nestandardizovaného Dotazníku kognitivních konstruktů (DKK). Výzkumný soubor se skládal z celkem 91 respondentů, výzkumné skupiny složené z respondentů s diagnostikovaným syndromem závislosti a dvou srovnávacích skupin, skupiny respondentů z neklinické populace a skupiny respondentů s psychiatrickým onemocněním. Zjištěné výsledky částečně potvrzují vztah mezi kognitivními...Theses Title: Cognitive construct of attachment by addicted people Autor: Ivana Křížová ABSTRACT This dissertation thesis aims to the theme of attachment as a cognitive construct.

HIV-1 protease-induced apoptosis

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis is one of the presumptive causes of CD4(+) T cell depletion during HIV infection and progression to AIDS. However, the precise role of HIV-1 in this process remains unexplained. HIV-1 protease (PR) has been suggested as a possible factor, but a direct link between HIV-1 PR enzymatic activity and apoptosis has not been established. RESULTS: Here, we show that expression of active HIV-1 PR induces death in HeLa and HEK-293 cells via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. This conclusion is based on in vivo observations of the direct localization of HIV-1 PR in mitochondria, a key player in triggering apoptosis. Moreover, we observed an HIV-1 PR concentration-dependent decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and the role of HIV-1 PR in activation of caspase 9, PARP cleavage and DNA fragmentation. In addition, in vitro data demonstrated that HIV-1 PR mediates cleavage of mitochondrial proteins Tom22, VDAC and ANT, leading to release of AIF and Hsp60 proteins. By using yeast two-hybrid screening, we also identified a new HIV-1 PR interaction partner, breast carcinoma-associated protein 3 (BCA3). We found that BCA3 accelerates p53 transcriptional activity on the bax promoter, thus elevating the cellular level of pro-apoptotic Bax protein. CONCLUSION: In summary, our results describe the involvement of HIV-1 PR in apoptosis, which is caused either by a direct effect of HIV-1 PR on mitochondrial membrane integrity or by its interaction with cellular protein BCA3
