A ring R is called left weakly np- injective if for each non-nilpotent element a of R, there exists a positive integer n such that any left R- homomorphism from $Ra^n$ to R is right multiplication by an element of R. In this paper various properties of these rings are first developed, many extending known results such as every left or right module over a left weakly np- injective ring is divisible; R is left seft-injective if and only if R is left weakly np-injective and $_RR$ is weakly injective; R is strongly regular if and only if R is abelian left pp and left weakly np- injective. We next introduce the concepts of left weakly pp rings and left weakly C2 rings. In terms of these rings, we give some characterizations of (von Neumann) regular rings such as R is regular if and only if R is n- regular, left weakly pp and left weakly C2. Finally, the relations among left C2 rings, left weakly C2 rings and left GC2 rings are given.

Let G be a group and let $p$ be a prime number. If the set $\mathcal{A}(G)$ of all commuting automorphisms of G forms a subgroup of Aut(G), then G is called $\mathcal{A}(G)$-group. In this paper we show that any $p$-group with cyclic maximal subgroup is an $\mathcal{A}(G)$-group. We also find the structure of the group $\mathcal{A}(G)$ and we show that $\mathcal{A}(G)=Aut_c(G)$. Moreover, we prove that for any prime $p$ and all integers $n{\geq}3$, there exists a non-abelian $\mathcal{A}(G)$-group of order $p^n$ in which $\mathcal{A}(G)=Aut_c(G)$. If $p$ > 2, then $\mathcal{A}(G)={\cong}\mathbb{Z}_p{\times}\mathbb{Z}_{p^{n-2}}$ and if $p=2$, then $\mathcal{A}(G)={\cong}\mathbb{Z}_2{\times}\mathbb{Z}_2{\times}\mathbb{Z}_{2^{n-3}}$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2{\times}\mathbb{Z}_2$.
