The Diagnostic Value of Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 in Post-Traumatic Bacterial Endophthalmitis
PURPOSE: To determine whether soluble-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) could serve as a reliable diagnostic biomarker of post-traumatic bacterial endophthalmitis (PTBE). METHODS: Thirty-two patients (32 eyes) clinically diagnosed having PTBE were further divided into a cult...

Sumario: | PURPOSE: To determine whether soluble-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) could serve as a reliable diagnostic biomarker of post-traumatic bacterial endophthalmitis (PTBE). METHODS: Thirty-two patients (32 eyes) clinically diagnosed having PTBE were further divided into a culture-positive (CP) group and a culture-negative (CN) group. Sixty-two patients (62 eyes) without traumatic endophthalmic infection were also enrolled. Twenty-one eyes from 11 donors without globe ocular injuries were included as control group. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were detected by ELISA. The expression and tissue distribution of TREM-1 were revealed by immunohistochemistry. The diagnostic value of sTREM-1 was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The correlation between sTREM-1 concentration and final best-corrected visual acuity (FBCVA) and Peyman endophthalmitis score (PES) were also assessed. RESULTS: The vitreous sTREM-1 level in the PTBE group was higher than that in noninfected group and control group (P < 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the CP group and the CN group in vitreous sTREM-1 levels (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the noninfected group and the control group (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference in TREM-1 level was found before and after intravitreal antibiotics (P > 0.05). TREM-1 was selectively highly expressed on the surface of cell membrane of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages infiltrated in vitreous and uveal of the PTBE group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79 (>0.75), with a medium diagnostic efficiency. The sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1 to differentiate PTBE from the noninfected intraocular condition were 62.50% and 86.25% separately. A cutoff value >524.50 pg/mL for sTREM-1 was predicted to be PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels in PTBE group were positively correlated with PES (r = 0.428, P < 0.05). However, sTREM-1 levels and FBCVA did not significantly correlate with one another (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The sTREM-1 was a promising diagnostic biomarker of PTBE, especially CN-PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were linked with intraocular inflammation levels and severity of PTBE. |
