    Kostelec nad Černými lesy - A Guide-book for Teachers

    No full text
    Jako téma své diplomové práce jsem si vybrala zpracování vlastivědné příručky pro učitele prvního stupně základní školy o městě Kostelci nad Černými lesy. V Kostelci nad Černými lesy jsem prožila své dětství a stále se tam ráda vracím. Je to místo, které vnímám jako svůj domov, místo, kam patřím. Přestože mám již delší dobu bydliště jinde, vždy se těším na jeho poklidnou atmosféru. Ačkoli se jedná o malé městečko, jeho historie je bohatá a o pozoruhodnosti tu není nouze. Je to místo zasazené v překrásné krajině, která přímo vybízí toulkám a výletům. I proto toto město vyhledává stále více návštěvníků. Většina lidí však zná Kostelec nad Černými lesy jen ze školních diktátů, kdy si jako žáci při českém jazyce lámali hlavu nad psaním velkým písmen. Někteří vám tak ještě poví, že v okolí asi budou nějaké lesy, jak název napovídá. Kostelec by si ale určitě zasloužil více pozornosti, jelikož má co nabídnout. Možná je důvod i v tom, že toto město nebylo v poslední době předmětem zpracování žádné publikace. dispozici jsou informace pouze ve formě brožurek, které nebývají obsáhlé. Jediná rozsáhlejší kniha, která byla vydána příležitosti pětisetletého výročí povýšení Kostelce nad Černými lesy na městečko v roce 1989, je příliš ideologicky zatížena. Rozhodla jsem se, že využiji všech dostupných materiálů a podám..

    The WID-BC-index identifies women with primary poor prognostic breast cancer based on DNA methylation in cervical samples

    Genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to breast cancer development. An epigenome-based signature capturing these components in easily accessible samples could identify women at risk. Here, we analyse the DNA methylome in 2,818 cervical, 357 and 227 matched buccal and blood samples respectively, and 42 breast tissue samples from women with and without breast cancer. Utilising cervical liquid-based cytology samples, we develop the DNA methylation-based Women's risk IDentification for Breast Cancer index (WID-BC-index) that identifies women with breast cancer with an AUROC (Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic) of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.80-0.88) and 0.81 (95% CI: 0.76-0.86) in internal and external validation sets, respectively. CpGs at progesterone receptor binding sites hypomethylated in normal breast tissue of women with breast cancer or in BRCA mutation carriers are also hypomethylated in cervical samples of women with poor prognostic breast cancer. Our data indicate that a systemic epigenetic programming defect is highly prevalent in women who develop breast cancer. Further studies validating the WID-BC-index may enable clinical implementation for monitoring breast cancer risk

    Additional file 7: of HOTAIR and its surrogate DNA methylation signature indicate carboplatin resistance in ovarian cancer

    Ten-fold internal cross-validations to identify an optimal DNAme signature. Upper panel shows the total misclassification error (y-axis) as a function of the shrinkage threshold (x-axis) used. Lower panel shows the misclassification error for each phenotype (1 = low HOTAIR expression, 2 = high HOTAIR expression) as a function of the same shrinkage threshold. The optimal minimal classifier was found at a threshold of approximately 1.47, corresponding to a 67-CpG signature at an estimated false discovery rate (FDR) of approximately 0.17 (not shown). The FDR was estimated using a permutation scheme as implemented in the pamr R-package, and the relatively low FDR (only about 17 % of the 67 CpGs are expected to be false positives) demonstrates the presence of a genuine DNAme signal associated with HOTAIR expression.
