ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the nursing care of prostate cancer (PCa) patients againstradioactive proctitisinduced byCyberKnifetreatment.@*METHODS@#Sixty-eightPCapatients undergoingCyberKnife treatment in the observation group receivedspecialnursing care againstradioactive proctitis. The nursing measures includedthoserelevant toCyberKnife treatment, prevention ofradioactive proctitis, skin care, and discharge guidance. Meanwhile, another 54 prostate cancer patients received traditional nursing care as controls. We compared the incidence rate and severity of radioactive proctitis between the two groups of patients.@*RESULTS@#The incidence rate of radioactive proctitiswas markedly lower in the observation group than in the control (2.9% vs 13.0%, P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed in the severity of radioactive proctitis between the two groups of patients.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The special nursing care againstCyberKnife-induced radioactiveproctitiscan significantlyreduce the incidence of radioactive proctitis andimprove the effect of CyberKnife treatment of prostate cancer, which therefore deserves wide clinical application.

Ten Amaryllidaceae alkaloids were isolated from the bulbs of Lycoris radiata. Their structures were identified as oxovittatine (1), apohaemanthamine (2), 9-O-demethylhomolycorine N-oxide (3), incartine (4), ismine (5), 6-O-methylpretazettine (6), tazettine (7), ungeremine (8), homolycorine (9), and O-methyllycorenine (10) by spectroscopic data analyses. Compound 1 was a new natural product. Compounds 2 and 3 were reported form the genus Lycoris for the first time and compounds 4-6 were isolated form the title plant for the first time.
