Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) causes recurrent apnea and intermittent hypoxia at night, leading to several complications such as cognitive dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfunction in OSAS are unclear, and oxidative stress mediated by intermittent hypoxia is an important mechanism. In addition, the improvement of cognitive dysfunction in patients with OSAS varies by different treatment regimens; among them, continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) is mostly recognized for improving cognitive dysfunction. In this review, we discuss the potential mechanisms of oxidative stress in OSAS, the common factors of affecting oxidative stress and the Links between oxidative stress and inflammation in OSAS, focusing on the potential links between oxidative stress and cognitive dysfunction in OSAS and the potential therapies for neurocognitive dysfunction in patients with OSAS mediated by oxidative stress. Therefore, further analysis on the relationship between oxidative stress and cognitive dysfunction in patients with OSAS will help to clarify the etiology and discover new treatment options, which will be of great significance for early clinical intervention.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common respiratory disorder. Multiple organs, especially the central nervous system (CNS), are damaged, and dysfunctional when intermittent hypoxia (IH) occurs during sleep for a long time. The quality of life of individuals with OSA is significantly impacted by cognitive decline, which also escalates the financial strain on their families. Consequently, the development of novel therapies becomes imperative. IH induces oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, iron deposition, and neuroinflammation in neurons. Synaptic dysfunction, reactive gliosis, apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and inhibition of neurogenesis can lead to learning and long-term memory impairment. In addition to nerve injury, the role of IH in neuroprotection was also explored. While causing neuron damage, IH activates the neuronal self-repairing mechanism by regulating antioxidant capacity and preventing toxic protein deposition. By stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs), IH has the potential to enhance the ratio of neonatal neurons and counteract the decline in neuron numbers. This review emphasizes the perspectives and opportunities for the neuroprotective effects of IH and informs novel insights and therapeutic strategies in OSA.

Abstract
Sleep is a physiological state that is essential for maintaining physical and mental health. Sleep disorders and sleep deprivation therefore have many adverse effects, including an increased risk of metabolic diseases and a decline in cognitive function that may be implicated in the long-term development of neurodegenerative diseases. There is increasing evidence that microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and the CNS response to sleep alteration and deprivation. In this chapter, we will discuss the involvement of microglia in various sleep disorders, including sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, narcolepsy, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, and idiopathic rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder. We will also explore the impact of acute and chronic sleep deprivation on microglial functions. Moreover, we will look into the potential involvement of microglia in sleep disorders as a comorbidity to Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
