Disease-specific inclusion criteria: * Relapsed/refractory systemic lupus erythematosus * Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) meeting the 2019 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria. * Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2000) ≥ 8 points; or significant organ involvement, such as lupus nephritis (histologically confirmed active nephritis of type III or IV, with or without type V involvement; National Institutes of Health \[NIH\] activity score \> 2 points; evidence of elevated chronicity index; urine protein/creatinine ratio \> 1.0 g/g, or 24-hour urine protein quantification \> 1.0 g). * Refractory or recurrent disease is defined as: no response after more than 6 months of conventional therapy, or recurrence of disease activity following remission. Conventional therapy is defined as: glucocorticoids combined with one or more of the following immunomodulatory agents: cyclophosphamide, antimalarials, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and biologics such as rituximab, belimumab, or tatalimab. * Refractory/Recurrent/Progressive Systemic Sclerosis * Scleroderma diagnosis conforms to the 2013 ACR(American College of Rheumatology) classification criteria. * Positive for scleroderma-associated antibodies. * Presence of diffuse cutaneous sclerosis or active interstitial lung disease (high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) showing ground-glass opacities). * Definition of recurrent/refractory: No response to conventional therapy for over 6 months, or recurrence following remission. Conventional therapy defined as: Glucocorticoids combined with any one or more of the following immunomodulators: cyclophosphamide, antimalarials, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and biologics such as belimumab, rituximab, or tocilizumab. * Progressive definition: Rapid progression of cutaneous lesions (Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) increase \> 25%); or progression of pulmonary lesions (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline ≥10%, or FVC decline ≥5% accompanied by Diffusion Capacity for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) decline ≥15%). Note: Fulfilment of either criterion 4 or 5 is sufficient. * Refractory/Recurrent/Progressive Inflammatory Myopathies * Diagnosis of inflammatory myopathy conforms to the 2017 EULAR(European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology)/ACR classification criteria (including dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), and necrotising myopathy (NM)). * Muscle involvement present, Manual Muscle Test - 8 (MMT-8) score \< 142 points, and at least 2 abnormalities in the following 5 core indicators: Physician Global Assessment (PhGA), Patient Global Assessment (PtGA) or extra-muscular disease activity score ≥ 2 points; Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) total score ≥ 0.25 points; Muscle enzyme levels ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal. * Definition of recurrent/refractory: No response to conventional therapy for over 6 months, or relapse following remission. Conventional therapy defined as: Glucocorticoids combined with any one or more of the following immunomodulators: cyclophosphamide, antimalarials, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and biologics such as belimumab, rituximab, or tocilizumab. * Definition of progressive disease: Rapid progression of interstitial lung disease within a short timeframe.

Conventional therapy is defined as:Use of glucocorticoids in combination with any one or more of the following immunomodulatory agents: cyclophosphamide, antimalarials, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and biologics such as belimumab, rituximab, or tocilizumab. * Refractory/Recurrent Connective Tissue Disease-Associated Thrombocytopenia * Diagnosis of connective tissue disease conforming to the latest classification criteria, including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, primary Sjögren's syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, and undifferentiated connective tissue disease. * Diagnosed with connective tissue disease-associated thrombocytopenia, with platelet count \< 30 × 10⁹/L, or platelet count \< 50 × 10⁹/L accompanied by bleeding tendency. * Bone marrow morphology consistent with features of immune thrombocytopenia. * Previous treatment with at least one course of glucocorticoid pulse therapy, or high-dose glucocorticoids combined with one or more immunosuppressants (including biologics) for at least three months, failing to achieve partial remission or unable to maintain efficacy during glucocorticoid tapering.
