Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling in treating neck-back myofasical pain syndrome. Method Sixty patients with neck-back myofasical pain syndrome were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by warm needling therapy, while the control group was by electroacupuncture. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and Physion MD muscle resistance detector (Japan) were adopted to measure the count of tender points (red points and yellow points), Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) before and after the treatment, and the clinical efficacies were also compared.Result The total effective rate was 83.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SF-MPQ scores (PRI, VAS, and PPI scores) were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). In the control group, VAS and PPI scores were significantly changed after the treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the SF-MPQ scores between the two groups (P<0.05). The counts of red and yellow tender points were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). The count of red tender points was significantly changed in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). After the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the number of red and yellow tender points between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Warm needling is an effective approach in treating neck-back myofascial pain syndrome.

In order to study the possible role of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (slL-2R) in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, we measured the levels of slL-2R in the sera and the tissue fluids from skin lesions and uninvolved skin from 41 patients with vitiligo, using the method of sandwich ELISA with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. The results showed that the overall level of serum sIL-2R from patients with vitiligo was significantly higher, than that from normal control group (P0.05). The level of serum sIL-2R from patients with vitiligo in progressive stage was significantly higher than that in stable stage (P
