This study investigated the effects of the intracarotid infusion of etoposide in combination with angiotensin II (AT II)-induced hypertension on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and brain tissue in rats. Eighty rats were divided into five groups: Group 1, intravenous infusion of AT II to increase arterial blood pressure; Group 2, intracarotid infusion of etoposide at 22.5 mg/m2 for 10 minutes; Group 3, intracarotid infusion of etoposide at 75.0 mg/m2 for 10 minutes; Group 4, intracarotid infusion of etoposide at 75.0 mg/m2 for 20 minutes; Group 5, intracarotid infusion of etoposide at 75.0 mg/m2 for 10 minutes with AT II-induced hypertension. Evans blue staining of the brain was used as a monitor of BBB disruption. Mean arterial blood pressure over the experimental period in Group 1 increased from 86.3 +/- 1.3 mmHg (mean +/- SEM) to 139.0 +/- 2.4 mmHg, and Group 5 from 85.9 +/- 1.8 mmHg to 137.3 +/- 2.4 mmHg. None of the animals in Group 1 and 2 showed any obvious neurological change, while all the animals in Group 3, 4 and 5 exhibited diminished activity as their sole neurological change throughout the course of the experiment. Slight evidence of BBB disruption was seen in only 25% of the animals in Group 1. Significant BBB disruption was found in the animals in Group 2, 3, 4 and 5. No histological change was observed in any animal in Group 1 and 2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001929 Brain Edema Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).
