This disease is called \u201ccotton pneumoconiosis\u201d and we may classify these occupational lesions into four types: 1) byssinosis; 2) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); 3) cotton fever; and 4) cotton pneumoconiosis. Byssinosis, COPD, cotton fever and cotton pneumoconiosis may be different types of responses due to the different duration of exposure, the different parts of bronchial tree (upper respiratory tract, small airway, and respiratory part) where deposition occurs, and the different components of cotton dust (broken cotton fibers, bracts, pericarps, bacteria, and fungi). These responses, which include histaminelike reaction, allergy, and stimulation of foreign material, happen in different symptoms of the syndrome among cotton mill workers. But no matter whether responses caused by inhalation of dust are inflammation or allergic reaction, cotton dust is foreign stimulation on deposited sites, causing lung fibrosis after lung stimulation. For the health of cotton workers, we must pay attention not only to the acute effects but also to the chronic lesions. We therefore suggest that these four types of occupational lung disorders caused by inhalation of cotton dust may be called by the joint name, \u201cByssinosis syndrome\u201d.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700120612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,17]],"date-time":"2007-04-17T10:46:27Z","timestamp":1176806787000},"page":"737-742","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Some opinions on byssinosis in China"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xing","family":"Guo\u2010chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"613","article-title":"Studies on pneumoconiosis caused by organic dusts","volume":"43","author":"Akira ABE","year":"1967","journal-title":"J Science of Labour"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","unstructured":"Chen H\u2010q(1985):Some findings from etiological studies of pneumoconioisis. \u201cStudies On Pneumoconosis Caused by Organic Dusts.\u201d China Medical University pp1\u20134."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"6","article-title":"A report of the investigation of the effect of cotton dust on workers' health (in Chinese)","volume":"9","author":"Don Qing","year":"1981","journal-title":"Rev Med Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.30.6.612"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"54","article-title":"An investigation on byssinosis in Jiao Zuo factory on sanitary materials (in Chinese)","volume":"1","author":"Jiao Zuo group of silicosis prevention","year":"1983","journal-title":"The symposium of III China Conference on Industrial Hygiene and Occupational diseases"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"2626","article-title":"Pulmonary disorders due to organic dusts (in Chinese)","volume":"23","author":"Kunihiko Yokoyama","year":"1980","journal-title":"Jap Chest Dis Assoc J"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","first-page":"333","article-title":"An investigation on pathogenesis of cotton fever (in Chinese)","volume":"19","author":"La Guang Zhong","year":"1985","journal-title":"Chinese J Preventive Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","first-page":"120","article-title":"Some keylinks in investigation of byssinosis (in Chinese)","volume":"2","author":"Lu Peilian","year":"1984","journal-title":"Chinese J Labor Hyg Occup Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","first-page":"63","article-title":"How to explain the term of byssinosis (in Chinese)","volume":"1","author":"Lu Pei\u2010lian","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Lab Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","first-page":"424","volume-title":"Occupational Lung Disorders","author":"Parkes WR","year":"1974"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.79.4_Supplement.67S"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_1","first-page":"408","volume-title":"Proc Int Con Pneumoconiosis Johannesburg","author":"Ruttner JR","year":"1970"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.79.4_Supplement.34S"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_1","first-page":"53","article-title":"An investigation on byssinosis at six greater cotton mills in Zheng Zhou (in Chinese)","volume":"1","author":"Wang Xui Lan","year":"1983","journal-title":"The Symposium of III China Conference on Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Disease."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_1","first-page":"123","article-title":"Byssinosis (in Chinese)","volume":"5","author":"Xu Chang Wen","year":"1957","journal-title":"Chinese J Tuberculosis Diseases"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_1","first-page":"55","article-title":"An investigation on effects of cotton dust on workers' health (in Chinese)","volume":"1","author":"Yi Chang Chun","year":"1982","journal-title":"The symposium of III China Conference on Industrial Hygiene and Occupational disease"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_1","unstructured":"WHO Tech Rep Ser 684(1983):Recommended Health\u2010based Occupational Exposure Limits for Selected Vegetable Dusts."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_1","first-page":"62","article-title":"Cotton pneumoconiosis?
