Articulation disorders that inhibit the communicative ability in children can be classified into three types. In the past, we have done much work in dysarthria and organic articulation disorders. Now we begin to explore the treatment of functional articulation disorders. In this paper, we described 10 patients between four to ten years old with functional articulation disorders and approached from different angles. We have positive answers in definition, diagnose standard and treatment procedure. We also find that the cure effect is very good, 9 of 10 patients have regained normal communlcative ability after speech therapy of one to three months.We hope to do much more work in the etiology and incidence of functional articulation disorders of children in China in the future.

Incidence of childhood is very low.6 cases of childhood aphasia were analysised in the pa- per.It show that some speech symptoms and theraputic prediction of childhood aphasia are quite different from those of adult aphasia.Because most of them are preschool children,they can not be evaluated with adult aphasia test.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of patients with liver injury caused by Periploca forrestii Schltr.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the general data,clinical manifestations,and laboratory examinations of 22 patients who were diagnosed with liver injury caused by Periploca forrestii Schltr.from November 2014 to December 2015,and their clinical type was determined according to the classification criteria of drug-induced liver injury recommended by the Council for Intemational Organizations of Medical Sciences.Results There were 12 female and 10 male patients.The mean medication time ranged from 1 week to 2 months,and as for biochemical markers,there were mainly abnormalities in alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBil),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT).ALT and AST increased in all the patients,with mean levels of 676.68±481.11 U/L and 527.36±361.14 U/L,respectively;TBil increased to a mean level of 170.26±147.30 μmol/L in 19 patients;ALP increased to a mean level of 135.61±59.26 U/L in 13 patients;GGT increased to a mean level of 195.65±138.48 U/L in 20 patients.As for clinical typing,18 patients had liver cell injury,none had cholestasis,3 had a mixed type,and 1 had an unclassified type.One patient died and all the other patients fully recovered.Conclusion Periploca forrestii Schltr.had complex constituents,and liver injury caused by this drug is mainly liver cell injury.The pathogenesis of liver injury caused by Periploca forrestii Schltr.is presumed to be related to patients' idiosyncratic reaction to its constituents.

The Chinese Standard Aphasia Examination was made according to Chinese language and cultural habits by referring to Japanese Standard Language Test of Aphasia.151 normal people and patients whose brain damaged without aphasia were tested.Mean and standard deviations were calculated.The significant differences were not found by analysis of variance to age,sex,handedness,profession and education except oral instruction and describing pictures in different educational groups.Therefore,the examination is suitable for Chinese aphasics who live in different parts of China and spoken mandarin.
