Parkinson's disease(PD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that tends to occur in the elderly.Its clinical manifestations mainly include motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms, with sleep disorders among common non-motor symptoms of PD.The latest lines of evidence show that sleep disorders are not only clinical manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases, but also an important risk factor for the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases.There is a bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including PD.The possible mechanisms include accelerated α-synuclein pathology, deposition of Tau protein, inhibition of the glymphatic system, neuroinflammation and changes in the circadian rhythm system.In this article, we review research progress on the bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and PD, related mechanisms, and the outlook on the treatment of PD through the management of sleep disorders.

Paeonia Radix Alba is the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall.in the ranunculus family,which is mainly produced in Zhejiang(Hang Paeony),Anhui(Hao Paeony)and Sichuan(Chuan Paeony).It has the effects of calming liver,relieving pain,nourishing blood,regulating menstrual period,collecting Yin,and preventing perspiration.Similar to Paeonia Radix Alba,Paeonia Radix Rubra is the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall.or Paeonia veitchii Lynch.in the ranunculus family.Although the chemical constituents are similar,the efficacy and clinical application of the two herbal medicines are obviously different owing to their various processing methods and techniques.Modern studies have shown that Paeonia Radix Alba is rich in multiple chemical constituents,mainly including monoterpenoids and their glycosides,triterpenoids and their glycosides,volatile oils,flavonoids,and polyphenols,and has a wide range of pharmacological effects such as analgesia,anti-inflammation,anti-depression,liver protection,anti-tumor,and anti-hyperglycemia.This paper reviews the progress of research on effective constituents of Paeonia Radix Alba and their pharmacological effects to provide references for the comprehensive development and utilization of Paeonia Radix Alba.

Objective:Neonatal mice hypoxia model was established to observe the responses of the main neural cell types in cognition-related brain areas.Methods:Pups at postnatal day 2(P2)were subjected to 10％oxygen for suc-ceeding 5 days,and harvested at different development stage for histologic study.Immunofluorescence histochemistry was used to compare the changes of oligodendrocyte density,mature oligodendrocyte ratio and myelin protein level in corpus callosum(CC)and motor cortex(M1)after hypoxia,as well as the expression changes of excitatory and inhibi-tory neurons in anterior cingulate cortex(ACC),hippocampus(Hippo)and sensory cortex(S1).Furthermore,the density changes of different types of inhibitory intermediate neurons,microglia and astrocytes in ACC were compared.At the same time,the effect of hypoxia on the expression of synaptic proteins was also detected.Results:Quantitative immunofluorescence results showed lower myelin protein levels and mature oligodendrocyte ratio in CC and M1 of hypoxic mice compared with control mice.There was no significant difference in the number of excitatory neurons in ACC,but the number of gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)neurons in ACC,Hippo,and S1 were significantly reduced,especially parvalbumin neuron,ssomatostatin neurons,and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide neurons in ACC.The number of excitatory synapses labeled by vesicular glutamate transporter 1(VGluT1)and inhibitory synapses labeled by gephyrin were significantly decreased in ACC of hypoxic mice.Although there was no significant difference in astrocyte and microglia numbers,microglia were activated after hypoxic injury.Conclusion:Chronic hypoxia will lead to changes in the development of oligodendrocytes and interneurons,impair synapse formation.These results provide an important experimental basis for exploring the neural mechanism of diseases related to abnormal brain intelligence devel-opment.
