89 cases of maxillary cancer were treated in this clinic 1966 to 1971.32 cases of them were treated by combined therapy of surgery, irradiation and 5 FU intra-arterial infusion. Others of them were treated without chemotherapy by surgery and irradiation.
In this report the auther compared the result with chemotherapy and without chemotherapy. 5 FU increases irradiation effect which is very important in the treatment of maxillary cancer, so that 5 FU was adopted as chemotherapeutical agent. 250mg of 5 FU a day were infused almost by one shot.
Results were as follows:
1) 3 years survival rate was 48% with chemotherapy and 28% without chemothrapy.
2) Histological effects were seen distinctly in cases with 5 FU. There were a few cases in which living cancer cells were not seen. This fact indicated that radical operation is not always necessary in some cases with chemotherapy.
3) The most effective preoperative treatment for maxillary cancer was 3000 to 5000 mg 5 FU infusion with 3000 to 5000 rads irradiation.
4) There was no serious secondary effect except one facial nerve palsy in this combined therapy.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: (1) to analyze the literary expressions in a literary teaching material for rapid reading included in an authorized textbook for high school students using a checklist this study proposes, and (2) to discuss how these expressions are dealt with in the questions in the attached materials. "The Hare's Gift," included in Powwow English Course I (new edition), is taken as the model text in this study. The study shows that although the model text contains a variety of literary expressions, the attached materials do not examine them specifically (exceptions are two questions which invite students to read between the lines). Previous studies have shown that focus on literary expressions or appreciating them is an indispensable practice in literary reading. This study concludes that the attached materials (and teaching practice) should be improved by adding more questions for literary expressions to the conventional questions. This improvement will provide learners with the opportunity to learn literary reading and gain more knowledge of English. In the final part of this study, sample questions are presented for each discussed literary expressions.
