Throughout, \(A\) represents an associative ring with identity and \(A\)-modules are unital. A left \(A\)-module \(M\) is called \(p\)-injective if, for any principal left ideal \(P\) of \(A\), every left \(A\)-homomorphism of \(P\) into \(M\) extends to \(A\). A left \(A\)-module \(M\) is called \(YJ\)-injective if, for any \(0\neq a\in A\), there exists a positive integer \(n\) such that \(a^n\neq 0\) and any left \(A\)-homomorphism of \(Aa^n\) into \(M\) extends to \(A\). \(A\) is called a left (resp. right) \(MI\)-ring if \(A\) contains an injective maximal left (resp. right) ideal. The author proves the following results: I. The following conditions are equivalent: (1) \(A\) is strongly regular; (2) \(A\) is a left quasi-duo ring whose simple right modules are \(YJ\)-injective; (3) \(A\) is a left quasi-duo ring whose simple left modules are \(YJ\)-injective; (4) \(A\) is a left quasi-duo ring whose principal left ideals are \(YJ\)-injective; (5) \(A\) is a left quasi-duo ring whose principal right ideals are \(YJ\)-injective. II. The following conditions are equivalent: (1) \(A\) is left self-injective regular with non-zero socle; (2) \(A\) is a left \(MI\)-ring whose simple left modules are \(YJ\)-injective; (3) \(A\) is a left \(MI\)-ring whose simple right modules are \(YJ\)-injective; (4) \(A\) is a left \(MI\)-ring whose principal right ideals are \(YJ\)-injective. Thus, Question 2 and Question 4 [in R. Yue Chi Ming, A note on \(YJ\)-injectivity (preprint)] are answered in the positive.
