Abstract
The continuity of the xylem water columns was studied on 17- to 23-m tall birch trees (trunk diameter about 23 cm; first branching above 10 m) all year round. Fifty-one trees were felled, and 5-cm thick slices or 2-m long boles were taken at regular, relatively short intervals over the entire height of the trees. The filling status of the vessels was determined by (i) xylem sap extraction from trunk and branch pieces (using the gas bubble-based jet-discharge method and centrifugation) and from trunk boles (using gravity discharge); (ii) (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of slice pieces; (iii) infusion experiments (dye, (86)Rb(+), D(2)O) on intact trees and cut branches; and (iv) xylem pressure measurements. This broad array of techniques disclosed no evidence for continuous water-filled columns, as postulated by the Cohesion-Tension theory, for root to apex directed mass transport. Except in early spring (during the xylem refilling phase) and after extremely heavy rainfall during the vegetation period, cohesive/mobile water was found predominantly at intermediate heights of the trunks but not at the base or towards the top of the tree. Similar results were obtained for branches. Furthermore, upper branches generally contained more cohesive/mobile water than lower branches. The results suggest that water lifting occurs by short-distance (capillary, osmotic and/or transpiration-bound) tension gradients as well as by mobilisation of water in the parenchymatic tissues and the heartwood, and by moisture uptake through lenticels.

Abstract
Seasonal variations in osmolality and components of xylem sap in tall birch trees were determined using several techniques. Xylem sap was extracted from branch and trunk sections of 58 trees using the very rapid gas bubble-based jet-discharge method. The 5-cm long wood pieces were taken at short intervals over the entire tree height. The data show that large biphasic osmolality gradients temporarily exist within the conducting xylem conduits during leaf emergence (up to 272 mosmol x kg(-1) at the apex). These gradients (arising mainly from glucose and fructose) were clearly held within the xylem conduit as demonstrated by (1)H NMR imaging of intact twigs. Refilling experiments with benzene, sucrose infusion, electron and light microscopy, as well as (1)H NMR chemical shift microimaging provided evidence that the xylem of birch represents a compartment confined by solute-reflecting barriers (radial: lipid linings/lipid bodies; axial: presumably air-filled spaces). These features allow transformation of osmolality gradients into osmotic pressure gradients. Refilling of the xylem occurs by a dual mechanism: from the base (by root pressure) and from the top (by hydrostatic pressure generated by xylem-bound osmotic pressure). The generation of osmotic pressure gradients was accompanied by bleeding. Bleeding could be observed at a height of up to 21 m. Bleeding rates measured at a given height decreased exponentially with time. Evidence is presented that the driving force for bleeding is the weight of the static water columns above the bleeding point. The pressure exerted by the water columns and the bleeding volume depend on the water-filling status of (communicating) vessels.

Abstract
In MR images of porous organic samples (such as roots or wood) in water media, the sample is often surrounded by a bright ring, with a corresponding decreased T1 value in T1 maps. When the medium is removed, or contrast agents are added, the ring disappears, indicating that the signal does not originate in the outer layers of the sample, but from the medium itself. It can be shown that this "bright ring effect" is only observed when the medium experiences a reduction in T1 when permeating the sample. In order to investigate this effect, a computer model was used to simulate the diffusion of magnetisation between regions that exhibit different relaxation constants. Using this model, the origin of the signal increase was found to be an inflow effect, as diffusion transports relaxed magnetisation from the boundary regions of the sample into the surrounding medium. In the case of the "bright ring" around the plants described above, a mixing of short T1 values from within the sample and long T1 values within the medium occurs, yielding a "transition region" between the two values. There, a signal increase can be observed at T1 weighted images, compared to the signal from the medium beyond this transition region. The width of the transition region is on the order of magnitude of the diffusion displacement that is calculated from the T1 value as diffusion time. In addition to causing the bright ring around the plant samples, this diffusion effect also limits the resolution of the relaxation time maps. This effect is not limited to T1 relaxation but also applies to T2 relaxation. However, at high B0 field strengths such as those used in this study (11.7 T), a T2 effect is not usually observed due to the considerably shorter T2 times in plants (about 50 ms, compared to T1 times of higher than 1 s). Because the diffusion length during this T2 relaxation is short with respect to the resolution of the imaging experiments, no T2 ring effect is seen.

Abstract
The water supply to leaves of 25 to 60 m tall trees (including high-salinity-tolerant ones) was studied. The filling status of the xylem vessels was determined by xylem sap extraction (using jet-discharge, gravity-discharge, and centrifugation) and by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of wood pieces. Simultaneously, pressure bomb experiments were performed along the entire trunk of the trees up to a height of 57 m. Clear-cut evidence was found that the balancing pressure (P(b)) values of leafy twigs were dictated by the ambient relative humidity rather than by height. Refilling of xylem vessels of apical leaves (branches) obviously mainly occurred via moisture uptake from the atmosphere. These findings could be traced back to the hydration and rehydration of mucilage layers on the leaf surfaces and/or of epistomatal mucilage plugs. Xylem vessels also contained mucilage. Mucilage formation was apparently enforced by water stress. The observed mucilage-based foliar water uptake and humidity dependency of the P(b) values are at variance with the cohesion-tension theory and with the hypothesis that P(b) measurements yield information about the relationships between xylem pressure gradients and height.

Abstract
In mass catering facilities of the German Armed Forces, foodborne outbreaks are commonly attributed to Bacillus cereus, and spores of this organism are regularly found on equipment surfaces. B. cereus is the causative agent of foodborne emetic or diarrheic disease. Hence, the use of sporicidal disinfectants may provide a starting point for successful risk mitigation of diseases associated with B. cereus. In this study, the amphoteric surfactant-based disinfectant (product A) that has been routinely used in catering facilities of the German Armed Forces and a peracetic acid-based disinfectant (product B) were compared for their efficacy against B. cereus spores in laboratory tests and under field conditions. In a carrier test for B. cereus spores, product A displayed no efficacy against spores of the test strain. In contrast, a substantial reduction in spore concentration (>5-log reduction) was achieved with product B. In a controlled trial conducted in seven Army catering facilities, the reduction in the number of B. cereus-positive samples was significantly greater (P < 0.001) for product B (from 28% initial contamination to 3% after application) than for product A (from 33 to 21%). Product B was estimated to be 6.25 times more efficacious than product A. Field trials confirmed the higher efficacy of the peracetic acid-based disinfectant to reduce B. cereus contamination on surfaces as found for the in vitro experiments. The tests used to assess the sporicidal effects of disinfectants were adequate under practice conditions and could be used for sporicidal testing of disinfectants for catering and food production establishments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging is the most comprehensive noninvasive means to assess structural changes in injured central nervous system (CNS) tissue in humans over time. The few published in vivo MR imaging studies of spinal cord injury in rodent models by using field strengths < or = 7T suffer from low spatial resolution, flow, and motion artifacts. The aim of this study was to assess the capacity of a 17.6T imaging system to detect pathologic changes occurring in a rat spinal cord contusion injury model ex vivo and in vivo. METHODS Seven adult female Fischer 344 rats received contusion injuries at thoracic level T10, which caused severe and reproducible lesions of the injured spinal cord parenchyma. Two to 58 days postinjury, high-resolution MR imaging was performed ex vivo (2) or in vivo in anesthetized rats (5 spinal cord injured + one intact control animal) by using 2D multisection spin- and gradient-echo imaging sequences, respectively, combined with electrocardiogram triggering and respiratory gating. RESULTS The acquired images provided excellent resolution and gray/white matter differentiation without significant artifacts. Signal intensity changes, which were detected with ex vivo and in vivo MR imaging following spinal cord injury, could be correlated with histologically defined structural changes such as edema, fibroglial scar, and hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that MR imaging at 17.6T allows high-resolution structural analysis of spinal cord pathology after injury.

Abstract
Body fluids, like plasma and urine, are comparatively easy to obtain and are useful for the detection of novel diagnostic markers by applying new technologies, like proteomics. However, in plasma, several high-abundance proteins are dominant and repress the signals of the lower-abundance proteins, which then become undetectable either by two-dimensional gels or chromatography. Therefore, depletion of the abundant proteins is a prerequisite for the detection of the low-abundance components. We applied affinity chromatography on blue matrix and Protein G and removed the most abundant human plasma proteins, albumin and the immunoglobulin chains. The plasma proteins, prior to albumin and immunoglobulin depletion, as well the eluates from the two chromatography steps were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and the proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. The analysis resulted in the identification of 83 different gene products in the untreated plasma. Removal of the high-abundance proteins resulted in the visualization of new protein signals. In the eluate of the two affinity steps, mostly albumin and immunoglobulin spots were detected but also spots representing several other abundant plasma proteins. The methodology is easy to perform and is useful as a first step in the detection of diagnostic markers in body fluids by applying proteomics technologies.

Abstract
The coverage regime just beyond 0.33 ML, representative of a perfectly ordered (square root 3 x square root 3)R30 degrees-CO layer on Ru(0001), has been investigated using infrared-absorption spectroscopy. Different isotopic mixtures of CO have been employed to derive a profound understanding of structural properties of such layers. It is found that extra CO molecules incorporated into the (square root 3 x square root 3)R30 degrees-CO layer affect their nearest neighbor molecules only, and the associated density gradient extends over no more than a few angstroms. Contrary to existing belief, the model system CO on Ru(0001) does not represent a case of an unusually shallow adsorption potential corrugation. Rather, CO experiences an exceptionally strong site preference when adsorbed on Ru(0001). Annealing causes the local distortion of the overlattice to propagate laterally, most probably in a density wave-like manner. Incipient motion on the atomic scale thereby has been detected by means of isotopic labeling of inequivalent molecules within the high density areas. All major conclusions are based on observations of (isotopically labeled) minority CO species which feature negligible dynamical lateral coupling. The majority CO species, on the other hand, provide laterally averaged, unspecific information on the status of the layer.

Abstract
By studying the adsorption of CO on up to 30 layers of Pt deposited on Ru(0001) the influence of surface strain on the adsorption energy has been disentangled from the residual chemical interaction with the substrate. While the electronic influence of the substrate has largely vanished for three Pt layers, the effect of surface strain due to the 2.5% lattice mismatch of Pt and Ru remains initially intact and is only gradually released for n>/=5 Pt layers. Electronic structure calculations confirm the experimental observations, in particular, the dramatic decrease of the CO adsorption energy on a single Pt layer which is caused by the strong Pt-Ru interlayer coupling.

Abstract
Hemorrhage from the pancreatic duct, i.e. hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP), is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Pancreatic hemosuccus is usually due to the rupture of an aneurysm of a visceral artery, most likely the splenic artery, in chronic pancreatitis. Other causes of HP are rare. We present a case of HP in a female patient with no history but with positive findings of chronic calcifying pancreatitis upon ultrasonographic investigation, computed tomography scan, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. With detectable fresh blood in the descending duodenum, angiography of the celiac artery revealed an aneurysm of the splenic artery as the suspected cause of intermittent bleeding from the pancreatic duct. The treatment is traditionally surgical or by interventional radiological means. This is the first case described in the literature in which interventional radiological therapy involved implantation of an uncoated metal Palmaz stent in the splenic artery. In the follow-up of 18 months no relapse of HP was observed.
