This study was made in order to esablish the method of the stature estimation of Chinese fe- males by measurement of the lumbar vertebrae.10 measurements for 37 lumbar vertebrae form Chinese fe- males of known age and stature were measured by the anthropometry.The analysis of the correlation be- tween the measurement results and the stature as well as the regression equations were made with the SPSS soft wear.The regression equations for the stature estimation of the Chinese females were as followsL1-5. L_1:Y= 592.010+0.161X_1+16.596X_2+13.922X_4+3.428X_5;r=0.751;s=45.0171.L_2:Y=641.280+19.733X_2- 0.420X_5+9.981X_6;r=0.698;s=48.2804.L_3:Y=516.200+26.079X_2+8.081X_6;r=0.758;s=43.3508.L_4:Y =1071.436+11.1133X_5;r=0.497;s=56.0890.L_5:Y=1111.890+4.17820X_5+10.335X_9;r=0.606;s= 53.3158.The regression equations can be used for the stature estimation of Chinese females.

Objective To explore the medical care and evacuation equipment at sea in China.Methods The present situation of the medical care and evacuation equipment at sea in China was discussed from the aspects of equipment system,medical service support,mechanism for utilization,management and maintenance as well as informatization.The problems were analyzed in equipment system,support ability,equipment integration and update as well as equipment performances.Results Some measures were put forward from the aspects of equipment system,support ability,equipment integration and update as well as equipment performances.Conclusion The development of medical care and evacuation equipment at sea has to take considerations on medical service requirements at sea,integrated civilian and military uses,personnel,innovation and etc.
