Congruences involving $\binom{4k}{2k}$ and $\binom{3k}k$

Let $p$ be a prime greater than 3. In the paper we mainly determine $\sum_{k=0}^{[p/4]}\binom{4k}{2k}(-1)^k$, $\sum_{k=0}^{[p/3]}\binom{3k}k, \sum_{k=0}^{[p/3]}\binom{3k}k(-1)^k$ and $\sum_{k=0}^{[p/3]}\binom{3k}k(-3)^k$ modulo $p$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$.
