If the subject is receiving glucocorticoids, the following conditions must be met: During screening and the screening period, the maximum dose of glucocorticoids is 30 mg/day prednisone (or an equivalent dose). The glucocorticoid dose must remain stable for ≥7 days before screening, and during the screening period, the dose adjustment must not exceed >5 mg/day prednisone (or an equivalent dose). If the subject is receiving antimalarials and/or conventional immunosuppressants: The treatment must have started ≥12 weeks before screening. The medication dose must remain stable for ≥8 weeks before screening and throughout the screening period. Before cell infusion, other immunosuppressants (excluding hydroxychloroquine), including belimumab, telitacicept, CD20 monoclonal antibodies, or other biologic immunosuppressants, must be discontinued for at least 5 half-lives.
5. Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must use medically approved contraceptive methods or practice abstinence during the study treatment period and for at least 6 months after the study. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum HCG test within 7 days before enrollment and must not be breastfeeding.
6. Willing to participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form.

HAQ total score ≥0.25. Muscle enzyme levels ≥1.5 times the upper normal limit. b. Alternatively, MMT-8 ≥142 but with active ILD (HRCT showing ground-glass opacities).
   • Positive for myositis-specific antibodies.

5. ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV):

   • Positive for ANCA antibodies (current or historical).
   • Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) ≥15 (out of 63), indicating active vasculitis.

6. Refractory Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS):

   • Meets the 2023 ACR/EULAR diagnostic criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome.
   • Positive for medium-to-high titers of antiphospholipid antibodies (LA, anti-β2-GP1, or ACL IgG/IgM), with at least two positive results within 3 months.
   • Definition of refractory APS: Disease remains active or relapses after remission, despite 6 months of conventional therapy, including: Anticoagulants (warfarin or standard treatment with vitamin K antagonists maintaining target INR) or low-molecular-weight heparin at standard doses. Glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressants.
   • Catastrophic APS (CAPS): Must meet all four criteria: a. Involvement of three or more organs, systems, and/or tissues. b. Symptoms occurring within one week. c. Histological evidence of small vessel occlusion in at least one organ or tissue. d. Positive for antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL).

Note: Meeting either criterion 3 or 4 is sufficient. Patients with thrombocytopenia may not require anticoagulant therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of severe drug allergies or allergic constitution.
2. Presence or suspicion of uncontrolled or treatment-requiring fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infections.
3. Central nervous system (CNS) diseases caused by autoimmune or non-autoimmune conditions, including epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, organic brain syndrome, cerebrovascular accidents, encephalitis, or CNS vasculitis.
