In order to study the band gap performance of structural color films under different conditions, Monodisperse submicron silica microspheres with different particle sizes were prepared by the modified Stöber method, and a photonic crystal structure color film with silica as a structural element was prepared on the surface of the glass by vertical deposition self-assembly. The morphology and optical properties of microspheres and films were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results show that during the synthesis process, with the increase of the reaction temperature, the particle size of silica microspheres gradually reduces; with the increase of the diameter of SiO2 microspheres, the corresponding photonic band gap of photonic crystals occurs red shifting. It is found through further study that as the angle between the incident light and the normal line of color film increases, the center wavelength corresponding to the photonic band gap becomes shorter, then blue shifting occurs.

In order to study the nature of interaction between Ba2+ and the KDP crystal surface, the adsorption behavior of Ba2+ on the KDP (100) surface was calculated by using density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the adsorption energies of Ba2+ on the KDP (100) surface are negative, indicating the adsorption processes are spontaneous and exothermic. Three types of adsorption configurations are formed after structure optimizations, and final adsorption positions are top sites on O atoms or bridge sites between two O atoms. The most stable adsorption system can be observed when Ba2+ on the bridge site between two O atoms within a phosphate group. In the three different adsorption configurations, Ba2+ can form ionic bonds with the surface O atoms, while interactions between Ba2+ and the surface H atoms exhibit covalent character. The P-O, H-O, and K-O bonds on the KDP (100) surface are elongated or shortened after Ba2+ adsorption, and the structure of hydrogen bonds on the surface also have been changed significantly.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and influencing factors of postoperative delirium among elderly patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Methods·The convenience sampling method was used to select cardiothoracic surgical ICU patients after operation in Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May to September 2020. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method-ICU (CAM-ICU) and the assessment was performed until ICU discharge or for a maximum of 7 d, whichever occurred first. Patients' demographics and clinical data were collected. The influencing factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression. Results·A total of 343 patients were included for this study and 103 developed postoperative delirium, with an incidence of 30.03%. All the delirium occurred within 7.5-130.0 h after operation, with a mean of (47.4±29.7) h and a median of 35.5(23.0, 61.0) h. On the whole, delirium uniformly distributed throughout the day. Only the delirium that occurred within 24 h after surgery showed a central tendency with the high-incidence time at 11:53 am while the others did not. Delirium duration lasted 6.5-131.0 h, with a mean of (32.4±28.1) h and a median of 20.5(14.0, 45.0) h. Comparison of the characteristics of patients in the delirium group and non-delirium group showed that there were statistical differences in gender, history of diabetes, heart function classification, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass, intraoperative hypotension, postoperative mechanical ventilation and postoperative oxygenation index. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ASA classification, intraoperative hypotension and cardiopulmonary bypass had significant influence on postoperative delirium (all P<0.05). Conclusion. The incidence of postoperative delirium is high among elderly patients who are admitted in ICU after operation. Higher ASA classification, intraoperative hypotension and cardiopulmonary bypass are influencing factors of delirium. To reduce delirium occurrence and shorten its duration, medical staff should understand the characteristics and influencing factors of postoperative delirium, evaluate delirium and implement preventive interventions.
