UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010431	Pentoxifylline	A METHYLXANTHINE derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase and affects blood rheology. It improves blood flow by increasing erythrocyte and leukocyte flexibility. It also inhibits platelet aggregation. Pentoxifylline modulates immunologic activity by stimulating cytokine production.	Agapurin,BL-191,Oxpentifylline,Pentoxil,Torental,Trental,BL 191,BL191
D001793	Blood Preservation	The process by which blood or its components are kept viable outside of the organism from which they are derived (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism).
