     Example 1 Test for Effect of Tris DBA on Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation 
     In order to prove the effect of Tris DBA on inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation, the present invention used mouse macrophage strain J774A.1 to analyze the effect of Tris DBA on NLRP3 inflammasome, and used rapamycin as control group. Each group was treated with 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 μM Tris DBA culture medium for 30 minutes, reacting with 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of NLRP3 inflammasome typical activator for 5.5 hours. Finally, it reacted with 5 mM ATP reagent for 30 minutes, the IL-1β and caspase-1 cytokines were tested by ELISA. 
     The protein expression was analyzed by Western Blot, the cells and Tris DBA were cultured for 1 hour, and cultured with two groups with LPS or without LPS respectively for 5.5 hours to test the expression level of cytokines (NLRP3, caspase-1, pro-caspase-1, pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-1β) in cells. This step refers to the data from prior literature (Chang Y P, et. al. 2015. Resveratrol inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by preserving mitochondrial integrity and augmenting autophagy. 
     The cell strain J774A.1 is treated with Tris DBA and antioxidant (NAC) respectively for one hour, the ROS generation is tested by commercial reagent H2DCFDA. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 1A-1D , the results show that Tris DBA can inhibit the pERK, pJNK and pp38 expression levels, as well as NLRP3 and pro-IL-1β protein expression levels ( FIG. 1E-1G ). As shown in  FIGS. 1H-1I , Tris DBA fails to inhibit the ROS and NF-κB activation. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2A , the result shows after the treatment with ATP (NLRP3 inflammasome initiating agent), the Tris DBA compound can promote autophagy and further inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. As shown in  FIG. 2B , the IL-1β, caspase-1, pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-1β of cell supernatant are tested by Western Blot. The result shows that Tris DBA can inhibit the cytokines induced by LPS in J774A.1 cells. As shown in  FIGS. 2C-2F ,  FIG. 2C  shows that Tris DBA promotesAtg5, LC3BI/II and p62 expression levels and it is concentration-dependent, compared with control group Rapamycin group, Tris DBA can promote the manifestation of autophagy factors Atg5 ( FIG. 2D ), LC3BI/II ( FIG. 2E ) and p62 ( FIG. 2F ) in J774A.1 cells. As shown in  FIGS. 2G-2I , the cellular autophagy inhibitor 3-Ma and Tris DBA can inhibit the NLRP3 inflammation expression.  FIGS. 2J-2K  show that Tris DBA can inhibit the expression level of IL-1β in J774A.1 cells. 
     To sum up, Tris DBA can reduce the activation signal of MAPK (ERK, INK) induced NLRP3 inflammasome and enhance autophagy to inhibit NLRP3 inflammation. 
     Example 2. Improve Mouse Animal Model of Accelerated Aggravated Lupus Nephritis

     The CD4 T cells of OVA-TCR transgenic mouse and T cell proliferation of antigenic specificity are used to analyze the manifestation of dendritic cell antigen. The OVA323-339 peptide reacts with LPS and LPS+Tris DBA groups for 16 hours respectively. The CD4 T cells abstracted from OVA-TCR transgenic mouse are cultured with BMDCs as per ratios of 1:0, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4, the T cell proliferation is determined by radioactive [3H]-thymidine, and the processed cell supernatant is used for testing the IFN-γ and IL-4 expression levels in Th1 and Th2 cells according to the operational manual of commercial reagent kit.
