Some conditions for finiteness of a ring

Extending a result of Putcha and Yaqub, we prove that a non-nil ring must be finite if it has both ascending chain condition and descending chain condition on non-nil subrings. We also prove that a periodic ring with only finitely many non-central zero divisors must be either finite or commutative.
