A system selectively delivers either breath-synchronized, flow-targeted ventilation (BSFTV) or closed-system positive pressure ventilation (CSPPV) to augment respiration of a patient with a standard tracheal tube. A removable adaptor has a cap that can be removably attached to the proximal connector of the tracheal tube in BSFTV mode, and an inner cannula that extends within the tracheal tube to effectively divide it into two lumens. The adaptor includes a ventilator connector for removably engaging a ventilator hose to deliver air/oxygen through the adaptor and one lumen of the tracheal tube with a flow rate varying over each respiratory cycle in a predetermined waveform synchronized with the patient's respiratory cycle to augment the patient's spontaneous respiration. The adaptor also includes a port allowing the spontaneously-breathing patient to freely inhale and exhale in open exchange with the atmosphere through the other lumen.

A vegetative roof system includes modules for holding growth media in which plants can grow. The modules can communicate with each other, sharing moisture/nutrients, increasing airflow to enhance plant respiration, allowing soil-borne animals/insects to travel between modules, etc. A rooting channel and/or a scalloped sidewall allow the roots of plants in the module to extend to adjacent modules. Alignment notches in sidewalls facilitate alignment of rooting channels between adjacent modules. Vertical zones help facilitate placement of abutting modules flush with each other. The rooting channels may be formed at the vertical zones to enhance continuity between and among modules. Sheet inserts can control rooting between modules and restrict undesired spillage through rooting channels (temporarily if biodegradable). Module inserts help control the quantity and depth of growth media, affecting module weight and rooting levels. An elevated connector can secure two or more modules together using downwardly-radiating prongs.

Phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLS3) is a newly recognized member of a family of proteins responsible for phospholipid translocation between two lipid compartments. A novel isoform of PLS3 is identified and characterized herein. The function of PLS3 in mitochondria was disrupted, yielding an inactive mutant PLS3(F258V). Cells transfected with PLS3(F258V) exhibited reduced proliferative capacity that was unaffected by the presence of Na₃N. PLS3(F258V)-expressing cells exhibit abnormal mitochondrial metabolism and structure and were associated with decreased sensitivity to UV- and tBid-induced apoptosis, and diminished translocation of cardiolipin to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Cells transfected with wild-type PLS3 displayed increased sensitivity to apoptosis and enhanced cardiolipin translocation. These studies identify PLS3 as a regulator of mitochondrial structure and respiration, and cardiolipin transport in apoptosis.
