Abstract: It is known that and . In this paper we obtain their p-adic analogues such as sum_{p/2<k<p}�inom{2k}{k}/((2k+1)4^k)=3sum_{p/2<k<p}�inom{2k}{k}/((2k+1)16^k)= pE_{p-3} (mod p^2), where p>3 is a prime and E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers. Besides these, we also deduce some other congruences related to central binomial coefficients. In addition, we pose some conjectures one of which states that for any odd prime p we have sum_{k=0}^{p-1}�inom{2k}{k}^3=4x^2-2p (mod p^2) if (p/7)=1 and p=x^2+7y^2 with x,y integers, and sum_{k=0}^{p-1}�inom{2k}{k}^3=0 (mod p^2) if (p/7)=-1, i.e., p=3,5,6 (mod 7).
