A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric( HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of four phenolic and salicylanilide anthelmintics including nitroxinil, oxyclozanide, closantel and rafoxanide in cattle and ovine tissues. Muscle, liverand kidney were extracted with acetonitrile-acetone(60:40, V/V)and fat with 1% triethylamine in acetonitrile, then the extract was purified with MAX solid-phase extraction column. Qualitative and quantitative analysiswas achieved by HPLC-MS/MS undernegative multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode. Good correlation coefficients were obtained (R>0. 99) in the concentration range of 1-100 μg/L. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of qualification (LOQ) for the four compounds were 1 and 2. 5 μg/kg, respectively. The mean recoveries at the four levels of LOQ, 0. 5 maximum residue limit (MRL), MRL, 2MRL were between 71% and 112%,with the intra-day relative standard deviation(RSD)in the range of 1. 1%-14. 0%and inter-day RSD in the range of 6. 4%-14. 7%. Forty samples from the market were analyzed with the method, only two samples were found to show phenolic and salicylanilide anthelmintics residues.

Objective To summarize the clinical features and possible impacts of Goodpasture's syndrome in pregnancy on the pulmonary and kidney of the newborn and the mothers. Methods One patient diagnosed Goodpasture's syndrome in pregnancy hospitalized in Peking Union Medical College Hospital on August 23 in 2011 delivered a neonate with bullae of lung. And literatures including 8 cases of pregnancy complicated by Goodpasture's syndrome worldwide through Medline were reviewed. Results (1) Case report:one 31-year-old women presented with acute renal failure at 30+6 weeks of gestation and delivered a male infant with birth weight 1 900 g by caesarean section at 31+1 weeks of gestation. Diagnosis was confirmed as Goodpasture's syndrome with anti-glomerular basement membrane(GBM) antibodies in serum and renal biopsy after delivery. Then she was treated with methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide, plasmapheresis and dialysis. The neonate showed the lung bullae in the right middle lobe and bilateral intraventricular hemorrhage but renal function was transient normal with anti-GBM as 113.1 EU/ml. The baby was treated by glucocorticoid for two months and clinical symptoms were improved. Anti-GBM antibodies and chest CT showed normal. After been followed up for two years, the baby was normal. (2) Literatures review:the main manifestations of Goodpasture's syndrome in pregnancy were malignant hypertension and renal failure but respiratory symptoms were not obvious. Treated with plasmapheresis, hematodialysis and glucocorticoid maybe have good effects. Most cases had premature delivery. Neonatal anti-GBM antibodies coming from mothers could result to cerebral, renal and pulmonary injury which could be treated by glucocorticoid. Conclusions The Clinical features of pregnancy complicating the Goodpasture's syndrome are malignant hypertension and renal failure. Diagnosis was depended on positive anti-GBM antibodies and renal pathological changes and treatment were depended on plasmapheresis, hematodialysis and glucocorticoid. Neonatal cerebral, renal and pulmonary injury resulting from anti-GBM antibodies coming from mothers should be followed up, and glucocorticoid should be taken if necessary.
