Abstract
OBJECTIVES Yoga is an ancient form of physical activity (PA) that encompasses meditation, stretching and breathing techniques. Although the benefits of PA and associated lifestyle interventions are clear, we here addressed the paucity of evidence regarding the specific relationship between yoga and quality of life (QOL) in adults in Poland. We hypothesised that participation in PA and yoga could result in a positive impact on QOL. DESIGN Cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire-based survey. Both the quantitative and qualitative variables were statistically compared. Multivariate analyses were performed using linear regression. Results were determined based on age, sex and education level; a p<0.05 was considered significant. SETTING Questionnaires were delivered to participants online, at high schools and universities, and in elderly communities in Poland. PARTICIPANTS 714 polish citizens aged over 18 participated in the study; there are no specific entry and exclusion criteria besides age. RESULTS Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed between the QOL of the physically active group (PAG) and non-PAG (N-PAG). Meanwhile, yoga practice was revealed to have a significant effect on QOL; QOL was found to be statistically higher (p<0.001) in the PAG with yoga (PAG-Y) (4.29±0.66) than in the N-PAG (3.83±0.92) and PAG without yoga (4.07±0.68). CONCLUSIONS The study shows that both regular PA and yoga practices could improve QOL; however, PAG-Y produced higher QOL scores than PA of other types. This outcome may be explained by the impact of physiological and psychological aspects within yoga practice. These results suggest that this unique combination impacts health more positively than other kinds of PA alone.

Abstract
The results of experiment of diffusive transmembrane transport in a single-membrane osmotic-diffusive electrochemical cell were presented. In all experiments one of the vessels was filed with pure water, and the second one--with aqueous potassium chloride solution in aqueous ammonia solutions of constant concentration. The flux of potassium chloride was assigned according to the following measure procedure. In a first step we assigned the time dependence of potassium chloride flux in conditions of uniform mechanically stirred solution with speed of 500 rpm. In a second step those characteristics were assigned in conditions of mechanically unstirred solution. Each experiment was made for two configurations of gravitational membrane system: (i) with the water in a vessel above the membrane and solution below it (configuration A) (ii) with the solution in a vessel above the membrane and water below it (configuration B). Taking under the consideration the values of potassium chloride flux in steady state for different solution concentration of the same substances and the same configurations of membrane system, the dependencies of potassium chloride flux from the solution concentration differences were made appropriately. On the base of those experiments the solute flux concentration boundary layers effects (jCBLE) were counted. Moreover it was shown that single-membrane osmotic-diffusive electrochemical cell has rectifier and amplifying of diffusive flow features. The coefficients, appropriately, of asymmetry and amplification of diffusive flux are the measurements of those features.

Abstract
In this paper the results of study flux gravidiffusive effect for a double-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell, in which series of two (Ml and M(r)), microporous and symmetrical flat polymeric membranes (Nephrophane and Cellulose IMP-1). These membranes separate three compartments (l, m, r) containing the heterogeneous and binary (aqueous glucose or ethanol solutions) or ternary (glucose solutions in 0.75 mole.l-1 aqueous ethanol solution or ethanol solutions in 0.1 mole.l-1 aqueous glucose solution) non-ionic solutions. The solution concentrations fulfil the condition Ckl > Ckm > Ckr. The inter-membrane compartment (m) consists of the infinitesimal layer of solution. The volume of compartment m and external compartment (l and r) fulfill the conditions Vm-->0 and Vl = Vr-->infinity respectively. The study of flux gravidiffusive effect for configurations A and B of the double-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell were elaborated. In configuration A solution was placed in compartment below membrane M(r) and water above membrane Ml. In configuration B solution was placed in compartment above membrane Ml and water below membrane Ml. These results are interpreted in terms of the convective instability that increases the diffusive permeability coefficients of complexes: concentration boundary layers/membrane Ml or M(r)/concentration boundary layer.

Abstract
Results of an experimental study of volume osmotic flows in a single-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell, which contains a horizontal, microporous, symmetrical polymer membrane separating water and binary or ternary electrolyte solutions are presented. In the experimental set-up, water was placed on one side of the membrane. The opposite side of the membrane was exposed to binary or ternary solutions. As binary solutions, aqueous potassium chloride or ammonia solutions were used, whereas potassium chloride in 0.25 mol x l(-1) aqueous ammonia solution or ammonia in 0.1 mol x l(-1) aqueous potassium chloride solution were used as ternary solutions. Two (A and B) configurations of a single-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell in a gravitational field were studied. In configuration A, water was placed in a compartment above the membrane and the solution below the membrane. In configuration B the position of water and solution was reversed. Furthermore, the effect of amplification of volume osmotic flows of electrolyte solutions in the single-membrane osmotic-diffusive electrochemical cell was demonstrated. The thermodynamic models of the flux graviosmotic and amplification effects were developed, and the volume flux graviosmotic effect for configurations A and B of a single-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell was calculated. The results were interpreted within the conventional instability category, increasing the diffusion permeability coefficient value for the system: concentration boundary layer/membrane/concentration boundary layer.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive cancer susceptibility syndrome with at least eight complementation groups (A to H). Three FA genes, corresponding to complementation groups A, C, and G, have been cloned, but their cellular function remains unknown. We have previously demonstrated that the FANCA and FANCC proteins interact and form a nuclear complex in normal cells, suggesting that the proteins cooperate in a nuclear function. In this report, we demonstrate that the recently cloned FANCG/XRCC9 protein is required for binding of the FANCA and FANCC proteins. Moreover, the FANCG protein is a component of a nuclear protein complex containing FANCA and FANCC. The amino-terminal region of the FANCA protein is required for FANCG binding, FANCC binding, nuclear localization, and functional activity of the complex. Our results demonstrate that the three cloned FA proteins cooperate in a large multisubunit complex. Disruption of this complex results in the specific cellular and clinical phenotype common to most FA complementation groups.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive cancer susceptibility syndrome with at least eight complementation groups (A-H). Three FA genes, corresponding to complementation groups A, C, and G, have been cloned, but the function of the encoded FA proteins remains unknown. We recently demonstrated that the FANCA and FANCC proteins bind and form a nuclear complex. In the current study, we identified a homozygous mutation in the FANCA gene (3329A>C) in an Egyptian FA patient from a consanguineous family. This mutant FANCA allele is predicted to encode a mutant FANCA protein, FANCA(H1110P), in which histidine 1110 is changed to proline. Initially, we characterized the FANCA(H1110P) protein, expressed in an Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized lymphoblast line derived from the patient. Unlike wild-type FANCA protein expressed in normal lymphoblasts, FANCA(H1110P) was not phosphorylated and failed to bind to FANCC. To test directly the effect of this mutation on FANCA function, we used retroviral-mediated transduction to express either wild-type FANCA or FANCA(H1110P) protein in the FA-A fibroblast line, GM6914. Unlike wild-type FANCA, the mutant protein failed to complement the mitomycin C sensitivity of these cells. In addition, the FANCA(H1110P) protein was defective in nuclear accumulation in the transduced cells. The characteristics of this mutant protein underscore the importance of FANCA phosphorylation, FANCA/FANCC binding, and nuclear accumulation in the function of the FA pathway.

Abstract
A method of determination critical value of concentration Rayleigh Number ((Rci)lim.) in isothermal membrane transport processes of three component non-electrolyte solutions was worked out. The method based on the derived in the paper equation, which include membrane transport coefficients (hydraulic permeability, reflection and diffusive permeability coefficients), solution parameters (viscosity coefficient, density and diffusion coefficient in solution). In order to experimental verification of these method the transport coefficients of symmetric flat polymeric membrane, parameters of solutions and diffusive flux for glucose solution in 0.2 mole/l aqueous ethanol solution were determined. Experiments were carried out by osmotic-diffusive single-membrane double-cell system. One cell in all experiments was filled with pure water while the other with the examined solutions. The experimental critical value of concentration Rayleigh Number (RCi)lim. = 1799 is comparable with theoretical critical value of thermal Rayleigh Number (TT)lim. = 1707.

Abstract
In this paper the classification of the gravitational effects in a passive transmembrane transport is presented. Among these effects there are the flux (flux graviosmotic effect, flux gravidiffusive, current gravielectric effect) and force (pressure graviosmotic effect, pressure gravidiffusive effect, voltage gravielectric effect) gravitational effects. The pressure graviosmotic effect model equation in a single-membrane system is elaborated. In this system the flat, microporous and symmetric polymeric membrane (Nephrophan) positioned horizontally separated water and binary (aqueous glucose) or ternary (glucose-0.2 mole/l) aqueous ethanol) non-electrolyte solutions. The calculations of pressure graviosmotic effects for two (A and B) configurations of the single-membrane system were elaborated. In configuration A solution was placed in compartment below membrane and in configuration B--above membrane. These calculated results are interpreted in terms of the convective instability that increases the diffusive permeability coefficient of complex: boundary layer/membrane/boundary layer.

Abstract
Prazosin--a selective blocker of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors--was administered to 30 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Twenty four patients (80%) reported an improvement in voiding and observed more potent urinary stream after the treatment. Average and maximum flow rates increased in 18 patients (60%). Therapy had to be discontinued in 2 patients because of the adverse reactions (hypotension and syncope in one and exacerbation of the coronary disease symptoms in another patient).

Abstract
This report examines the hypothesis that for phenelzine to be more effective than placebo it is necessary to achieve at least 80% inhibition of platelet MAO activity. This hypothesis was examined in the context of a double-blind comparison of phenelzine, amitriptyline and placebo in depressed patients. When phenelzine became significantly more effective than placebo at 4 weeks, the average MAO inhibition was 85%. By the 5th week, with MAO inhibition greater than 90%, phenelzine was significantly more effective than amitriptyline. A highly significant correlation was noted between improvement and MAO inhibition within the phenelzine group.
