Background:: Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside, is one of the richest bioactive components present in Rehmannia glutinosa. More and more metabolites of drugs have exhibit various pharmacological effects, thus providing guidance for clinical application. However, few researches have paid attention on the metabolism of catalpol. Objective:: This study aimed to establish a rapid and effective method to identify catalpol metabolites and evaluate the biotransformation pathways of catalpol in rats. Methods:: In this study, catalpol metabolites in rat urine, plasma and faeces were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Exactive MS for the characterization of metabolism of catalpol. Based on high-resolution extracted ion chromatograms (HREICs) and parallel reaction monitoring mode (PRM), metabolites of catalpol were identified by comparing the diagnostic product ions (DPIs), chromatographic retention times, neutral loss fragments (NLFs) and accurate mass measurement with those of catalpol reference standard. Results: A total of 29 catalpol metabolites were detected and identified in both negative and positive ion modes. Nine metabolic reactions including deglycosylation, hydroxylation, dihydroxylation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation of methylene to ketone, glucuronidation, glycine conjugation and cysteine conjugation were proposed. Conclusion:: A rapid and effective method based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive MS was developed to mine the metabolism information of catalpol. Results of metabolites and biotransformation pathways of catalpol suggested that when orally administrated, catalpol was firstly metabolized into catalpol aglycone, after which phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ reactions occurred. However, hydrophilic chromatography-mass spectrometry still needed to further find the polar metabolites of catalpol.

Mangrove mapping is done with remote sensing technology using high-resolution image data. Application and information are then presented in web form. This study aims to map the mangrove distribution in Riau Islands, Indonesia. Based on the analysis, from the research data obtained the total area of mangrove in Riau Islands in 2011 and 2017 amounted to 71,504.83 Ha and 64,218.90 Ha, decreased by 7,285, 93 Ha or decreased by 10.19%. Based on the regency, the largest mangrove area in 2017 is located in Batam City of 22,964.77 Ha, then Karimun Regency (13,659,58 Ha), Lingga Regency (11,881.61 Ha), Regency of Bintan (9,701.49) Ha, Natuna Regency (2,477.16 Ha), Tanjungpinang City (1,847.65 Ha), and Anambas Regency (1,686.61 Ha). The magnitude of the widespread change (widespread reduction) occurring over the years between 2011 and 2017 by district, Natuna Regency experienced the largest reduction of 1,949.69 Ha or around 41.39%, followed by Lingga Regency of 1,947.15 Ha (14.08%), Tanjungpinang Municipality of 284.13 Ha (13.33%), Karimun Regency 1,920.93 Ha (12.33%), Anambas Regency of 195.90 Ha (10.40%), Batam City 1,094.83 Ha (4.55%) and Bintan Regency with 93.29 Ha (0, 95%). Opportunities that the pixels classified on the mangrove image are truly mangrove on the facts in the field.

The commonly used stable factor methods for the inverse [Formula: see text]-filter achieve good performance in seismic data processing; however, the constant gain-limit assumption in these methods is not associated with the effective frequency band of seismic data and cannot obtain desirable results with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Our extended stable factor method for the inverse [Formula: see text]-filter extends these methods by introducing two parameters and constant or self-adaptive gain limit to achieve the desirable high-resolution and high-S/N result. The extended stable factor method for the inverse [Formula: see text]-filter can be implemented in the frequency or time-frequency domain; the latter implementation achieves a higher S/N. Analysis of synthetic signals and field seismic data application illustrate that our method can produce a desirable high-resolution and high-S/N result.
