摘      要：The management of traumatic peripheral nerve injury remains a considerable concern for *** minimal innovations in surgical technique and a limited number of specialists trained to treat peripheral nerve injury,outcomes of surgical intervention have been *** inability to manipulate the pathophysiology of nerve injury（i.e.,Wallerian degeneration） has left scientists and clinicians depending on the slow and lengthy process of axonal regeneration（-1 mm/day）.When axons are severed,the endings undergo calcium-mediated plasmalemmal sealing,which limits the ability of the axon to be primarily *** glycol（PEG） in combination with a bioengineered process overcomes the inability to fuse *** mechanism for PEG axonal fusion is not clearly understood,but multiple studies have shown that a providing a calcium-free environment is essential to the process known as PEG *** proposed mechanism is PEG-induced lipid bilayer fusion by removing the hydration barrier surrounding the axolemma and reducing the activation energy required for membrane fusion to *** review highlights PEG fusion,its past and current studies,and future directions in PEG fusion.
