In order to investigate the effect of degradable products on degradable property of PGLA in vitro, two kinds of media-PBS and artificial plasma were prepared for immersing PGLA under changing or non-changing media condition. The mass loss rate of PLGA was calculated and the pH value in the non-changing media was measured before and after immersing 2 w, 3 w, 4 w, 6 w, 8 w and 10 w respectively. The results showed that there was almost no statistically significant difference of mass loss rate of PGLA immersing in two kinds of media at 2 w (P > 0.05). But from 2 w to 6 w, the degradation of PGLA immersing in both media under non-changing media group was remarkably faster than those at the same period of changing media group (P < 0.01). During the whole degradable period, the pH value in PBS kept stable around 7.0-7.4, while the pH value in artificial plasma showed gradually decreased as the degradation of PGLA from 7.5 to 5.7. The change of pH values had statistically significant difference between two degradable media (P < 0.01). It was implied that the degradable products existed in immersing media had an effect on degradable speed of PGLA itself if the media was unchanged. It could accelerate the mass loss of material. The pH value also affected the degradable property of PGLA, the lower the pH value, the slower the degradable speed.
