[Challenges to prevent and control the outbreak of COVID-19].
An outbreak of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. The infectious virus was soon identified and named as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). ⋯ It has so far caused about 118 000 cases in 114 countries including China ending March 10, and was characterized as a pandemic by WHO on March 11. We still face great challenges in control of the epidemic: uncertain initial source of infection, infected populations widely scattered, complex routs of transmission, populations generally susceptible, high contagiousness of the virus, and finally vaccines unlikely available in the near future.

[Surveillance and evaluation of diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
Carrying out standardized diagnosis, treatment, intervention, management, surveillance and evaluation of COPD is an important part of the special action for the prevention and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases in the "Healthy China Initiative (2019-2030)". The surveillance of COPD among Chinese residents provides basic data for assessing the level of standardized diagnosis, treatment, intervention and management of patients with COPD. Based the data of all COPD patients found in the surveillance of COPD (2014-2015), the key series articles report the awareness rate of COPD among patients aged ≥40 years in China, and analyze the spirometry examination rate, medicine treatment rate, inhalation therapy rate, respiratory rehabilitation rate, smoking cessation rate, successful smoking cessation rate, and pneumococcal vaccination rate in COPD patients aged ≥ 40 years and their associated factors, providing a scientific reference for China to carry out special action for the prevention and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases represented by COPD.

[An epidemiologic thinking on the diagnosis criteria of COVID-19].
The diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on the positive of etiological test. The current etiological test of COVID-19 cost long time, and have high false negative rate, may resulting delay the measures of disease treatment and prevention. We suggested that COVID-19 should be diagnosed as 3 types: suspected case, clinical diagnosed case, and definite diagnosed case.
