Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for topically delivering SDF-1 into the brain, in which the composition comprises a dual ionic pH-sensitive copolymer and a nerve regeneration and protective factor. In the present invention, when a dual ionic pH-sensitive copolymer containing SDF-1 as a nerve regeneration and protective factor is applied to a patient suffering from ischemic stroke as a drug carrier, it induces the effective delivery of the treatment factor to a topical lesion site, and moreover, the risk factors for adverse effects may be cancelled out, so that it can be effectively used as a novel therapeutic agent for ischemic brain diseases.

Abstract: A push lock switch apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a plunger that is inserted in a housing and slides and includes a moving passage in the inside thereof. A lock pin is hinged at a bottom portion of the housing and interferes with the moving passage to regulate the slide movement of the plunger. A return spring is disposed in the housing and is able to provide an elastic force to the plunger and allows the lock pin to rotate on the moving passage by pressurizing the lock pin. Additionally, a movable contactor is engaged with the plunger and slides together with the plunger and contacts a fixed terminal disposed at an outer side of the housing when the plunger slides.
