In this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for an exchange ideal to be a qb-ideal. It is shown that an exchange ideal I of a ring R is a qb-ideal if and only if when-ever $a{\simeq}b$ via I, there exists u ${\in} I_q^{-1}$ such that a = $ubu_q^{-1}$ and b = $u_q^{-1}$. This gives a generalization of the corresponding result of exchange QB-rings.

We characterize QB-ideals of exchange rings by means of quasi-invertible elements and annihilators. Further, we prove that every $2\times2$ matrix over such ideals of a regular ring admits a diagonal reduction by quasi-inverse matrices. Prime exchange QB-rings are studied as well.

Lambek introduced the concept of symmetric rings to expand the commutative ideal theory to noncommutative rings. In this study, we propose an extension of symmetric rings called strongly α-symmetric rings, which serves as both a generalization of strongly symmetric rings and an extension of symmetric rings. We define a ring R as strongly α-symmetric if the skew polynomial ring R[x; α] is symmetric. Consequently, we provide proofs for previously established outcomes regarding symmetric and strongly symmetric rings, directly derived from the results we have obtained. Furthermore, we explore various properties and extensions of strongly α-symmetric rings.
