In this paper, we study the three-dimensional(3D) compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. Firstly, we obtain a blow-up criterion for the local strong solutions in terms of the gradient of the velocity, which is similar to the Beal-Kato-Majda criterion(see [1]) for the ideal incompressible flow. Secondly, we extend the well-known Serrin's blow-up criterion for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to the 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. In addition, initial vacuum is allowed in our cases.
