The identification of AQP4-IgG, a specific and pathogenic antibody of NMO/SD has led to a broadening of the clinical spectrum of manifestations of NMO/SD including the presence of encephalic symptoms. Lesions are often distributed on peri‑ependymal area and sometimes affected the diencephalon leading to sleep disorders. We report a case of hypersomnia with polysomnographic documentation during the first attack of NMO/SD.

Objectives: Antidepressants substantially affect REM sleep characteristics and trigger manifestations of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in the general, non-narcoleptic, population. Antidepressants are also frequently administrated in an attempt to suppress cataplexy. We investigated the role of antidepressants in the development of RBD in narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) patients.

Recent advances in the identification of susceptibility genes and environmental exposures provide strong support that narcolepsy-cataplexy is an immune-mediated disease. Only few serum cytokine studies with controversial results were performed in narcolepsy and none in the cerebrospinal fluid. We measured a panel of 12 cytokines by a proteomic approach in the serum of 35 patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy compared to 156 healthy controls, and in the cerebrospinal fluid of 34 patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy compared to 17 non-narcoleptic patients; and analyzed the effect of age, duration and severity of disease on the cytokine levels.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) measurement of hypocretin-1 (hcrt-1) in Chinese patients with narcolepsy.
Methods: A total of 139 narcoleptic patients, including 111 narcolepsy with typical cataplexy (NC) and 28 narcolepsy without cataplexy (NWC), were diagnosed at the sleep centre of Peking University People's Hospital from April 2003 to March 2012. And 64 non-narcoleptic controls were recruited.
