Acute chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the most common type of liver failure. The clinical symptoms are complex and changeable, the treatment is difficult and the fatality rate is high. It has become an urgent problem to actively seek effective treatment means and improve the clinical efficacy of ACLF patients. Studies have shown that decreased intestinal barrier function and bacterial endotoxin translocation in ACLF patients are considered to be the key causes of enterogenic endotoxemia, and traditional Chinese medicine enema has certain advantages in adjuvant treatment of this disease. However, due to the lack of evidence, there is no specific method or suggestion, so it is necessary to carry out systematic evaluation on Traditional Chinese medicine enema for ACLF and provide effective evidence for further research. ⋯ The systematic review of this study will summarize the currently published evidence of Traditional Chinese medicine enema for ACLF to further guide its promotion and application.

Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease. In 2013, the International Diabetes Federation showed that the total number of diabetic patients aged 20 to 79 years in China was 89 million, and it is expected to increase to 143 million by 2035. The incidence of T2DM and its complications in patients with blood glucose is gradually increasing, and there are low awareness rate, low diagnosis rate and high disability rate, which has become a global public health problem. Microcirculation Dysfunction in Type 2 diabetic mellitus (MDT2DM) plays an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic foot disease. It is 1 of the common etiological mechanisms of diabetic chronic complications. Patients with MDT2DM, serious complications, increase the quality of life of patients with social impact. Diabetic lower extremity microcirculation disease (dlemd) is the main cause of the occurrence, development and difficult healing of diabetic foot. Microvascular disease is microcirculation dysfunction. It has been proved that Shenqi compound prescription can treat T2DM macrovascular disease and microvascular dysfunction. However, due to the lack of evidence and no specific methods or suggestions, it is necessary to conduct a systematic evaluation of Shenqi compound prescription to provide effective evidence for further research. ⋯ August 24, 2020.osf.io/es6z7.
