The invention discloses acid-sensitive controlled-release anti-inflammatory gel. The gel is formed by phenylboronic acid modified hyaluronic acid and tannic acid under the neutral to slightly alkalinecondition, and tannic acid can be released under the acidic condition. Amiloride and analogues or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs thereof can be added to the anti-inflammatory gel. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the acid-sensitive controlled-release anti-inflammatory gel.

The invention discloses a multifunctional microemlusion gel preparation and a preparation process thereof, and belongs to the technical field of medicines. The preparation mainly comprises bulk pharmaceutical chemicals (such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-diclofenac sodium, ibuprofen, indometacin, antifungal drugs-ornidazole, antiviral drugs-ganciclovir, hormone drugs-dexamethasone, local anesthesia drugs-lidocaine and irritants-menthol), a cationic polymer and a microemlusion, can further comprise gel or a thickener, and can be used for transdermal drug delivery and local drug delivery. The preparation process is simple, convenient, good in stability and pollution-free. Compared with existing cream and gel, the preparation has the advantages that a novel action mechanism is adopted, the accumulative penetration amount of unit area of drugs is remarkably increased, a certain slow-release effect is achieved, and the drug delivery frequency and the drug delivery amount can be reduced; a chemical penetration enhancer and a conventional preservative are not added, a certain bacterial inhibition effect is achieved, the skin irritation is avoided, and the use safety of the drugs is improved.

The invention relates to a method and composition for synergistic topical therapy of the symptoms of neuromuscular pains. In this method, for intact skin or open skin, there is used a suitable topical pharmaceutical formulation, which is loaded in a suitable dose relationship with a sodium channel blocker from the class of local anesthetics of the ester or amide type and a substance from the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and which releases these substances selectively onto or under the skin region. By the simultaneous inhibition of the initial inflammatory pain factors at the cellular level and also of the transmission of neuronal pain impulses in reaction thereto, this therapy achieves pharmacologically more effective alleviation of neuromuscular pain.

Methods of diagnosing or prognosing a disease or condition associated with increased or over expression of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) are disclosed.
